CHILD SEAT BELT LAW KILLS AGAIN

Nearly every day the news reports a child dying in the back seat of the parents car after having been forgotten by their loving parents. How is such a thing possible?

A law was passed a few years ago requiring parents to place their young children in the back seat of their car. It is apparent that this is what has led to the increasing number of child deaths. Why? Before the law was passed the child rode in front with the parents and there was probably mutual stimulating communication, which not only kept the child awake, but the parents aware of their presence. Solution: Return the child to the front seat, or at least attach an alarm to the car that warns the parent that there is someone (whether child or pet) in the back seat of the car that must be attended to before they lock up and walk away.
