I want to share a narrow escape and hope it helps prevent an
awful tragedy.  Today, may precious daughter took her two
sons - aged 4 and 2 - to an outing with friends at the park.
As the children played together, she realized that she could
no longer see her older child.  She called, no answer.  She
looked inside, no luck.  She asked the younger child, "I
dunno".  Then the younger child went to her car and began to
bang on the door.  She went to the car, and the older child
was inside, where he had hidden from the other children
during hide and seek.  Because she had "childproofed" the
door handles, he couldn't get out again.  The temperature
inside the car was dangerously high, and the child was
extremely overheated, his clothes completely drenched with
sweat, and he was sobbing.  If she hadn't found him when she
did, I can't bear to think what would have happened.

So the moral to the story is for parents of small children,
who have "childproofed" the door handles on their cars, to
conscienciously lock those cars when they get out so that
the children cannot get back in again.  Thank God my
grandson is safe, and let's hope no one else ever has a
scare like THAT again!
