Hot Cars Kill Kids and Pets

Summer heat means deadly danger for kids and pets left in cars—temps spike fast, even on mild days. Officials urge leaving essentials in the backseat to force you to check before leaving. Always confirm kids are safely dropped off, and never leave pets alone—cracked windows don’t help. If you see a child or pet alone in a locked car, call 911. Lock car doors, keep keys away from kids, and teach them never to play under or inside vehicles. In Vermont and New York, leaving someone or pet in a car when at risk is illegal—and Vermont’s Good Samaritan law protects those who break in to save lives or animals.
