Introduction:
The recent arrest of a "baby Kia" has sent shockwaves through the nation, raising concerns about the safety of children in our communities. This article delves into the details of the case, its implications, and the lessons we can learn from this disturbing event.
On July 12, 2023, a 1-year-old boy was found unattended in a running Kia Sorento outside a convenience store in Atlanta, Georgia.

The arrest of the baby Kia should serve as a wake-up call for parents and policymakers alike. Here are some lessons we can learn from this incident:
In 2021, a 2-year-old boy died after being left alone in a parked car for several hours outside a shopping mall in California. The boy's mother was inside the mall shopping.
Lesson: Even short periods of time left unattended can be fatal for young children in vehicles.
In 2019, a 4-year-old girl survived after being left in a car for eight hours outside a church in Texas. The girl's parents had parked the car in the shade and left the windows slightly open.
Lesson: Even with the windows open, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise dangerously on a hot day.
In 2018, a 5-year-old boy was rescued after being trapped in a locked car for nearly 12 hours outside a school in Florida. The boy's parents were unable to locate the keys to unlock the car.
Lesson: Children can become trapped in vehicles even if they are not left alone intentionally.
