Leaving children in cars OK to many / 20% of young parents surveyed approve: “At least 120 children — most of them 3 and

younger — have died of heatstroke in parked

cars during the past five years, according to

research sponsored by the National SAFE KIDS

Campaign and General Motors. By 2004, GM

plans to start selling vans and sport utility vehicles

equipped with sensors that will detect a child

breathing in a car on a hot day and honk the horn

to alert passers-by. Eventually, all GM cars will

use the technology.” SF Chronicle
