THE SILENT TRAGEDY
Every year, an unthinkable tragedy unfolds in vehicles across the country—one that is silent, preventable, and devastating. Children left or trapped in hot cars suffer fatal consequences due to Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH), a heartbreaking reality that has claimed over 1,000 young lives since 1990.
Despite growing awareness, the numbers remain staggering:
In 2024 alone, 37 children have already lost their lives to hot car deaths.
A child’s body heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult’s, making even a mild day deadly.
Temperatures inside a car can rise by 20°F in just 10 minutes, even with the windows cracked.
In 55% of cases, parents simply forget their child is in the back seat—a mistake that can happen to anyone, regardless of routine.
These tragedies don’t discriminate. They happen to loving, responsible parents, caregivers, and even professionals—a momentary lapse that turns into irreversible loss.
