Children Left Alone in Cars Increases at Alarming Rates

It's not hard to imagine this as a common scenario. The baby finally fell asleep in her car seat. Mom or dad just needs to run into the store for "a minute." A minute turns into 20. That’s all it took for their baby to die of heat stroke. Hard to believe this can happen? Believe it! Three children died last week in this same scenario.

Please share this article with as many as possible. It is true, that there are cases where perhaps the intent is malicious or self-serving (leaving the child locked in a car to go in a bar)... but other families find that their lives are ripped by this as a tragic ACCIDENT. The families love their children dearly... some have had siblings that not only lose their brother or sister -- but also often mom and dad to their grief (if not to jail.) Reading recent cases, I've seen the parents vilified. OF COURSE this should NEVER happen! I, too, am horrified at the thought of leaving one of my own in the car. My children laugh and tease me as I do my "kid count" as we enter and exit the car... running through where ALL my children are -- even those not traveling with me at the time. But, I recognize "there but for the grace of God, go I." If this, at times, annoys my kids (or my dh makes fun), it is a "sacrifice" I'm willing to make. We are all creatures of habit. I know as life seems to grow ever more hectic, we are pulled in 20 different directions at any given moment. Often we drive home (or to work, practice, etc.) on auto-pilot as we are working out what's for dinner, what chores lie ahead, who needs to be where" and more. Add into the mix the constant interference of "technology" -- computers, cell phones, texting, Facebook, etc. -- and we enter information overload. We must find a way to slow down, unplug, and instead plug IN -- to our most precious treasures... our family. Whatever trick you need to personally employ to implement your own "kid count" before getting out and locking your vehicle... do so. If putting your purse / wallet or cell phone back with your child(ren) helps -- DO IT! (For those that mock... NO that does NOT mean a parent values their child more than their purse/cell! It means that they care about their child enough to do whatever it takes to try and keep them safe!)

Google Chrome Extension Allowed to Block Facebook Baby Pictures

Google Chrome has extensions for pretty much anything. Their latest allows Facebook to block your baby pictures.
