Never Leave a Child Alone in a Car

Never Leave a Child Alone in a Car

#NotEvenForAMinute

Join us in spreading the word to parents and caregivers that children should never be left alone in a car, not even for a minute. Over 750 children in the U.S. have died from heatstroke in cars since 1998. More than half were forgotten by a caregiver.

Help put an end to these preventable tragedies by sharing these materials on social media and using the hashtags #NotEvenForAMinute and #LookBeforeYouLock.
