More than 740 kids have died due to vehicle heatstrokes since 1991. An uncertain number of pets/K-9s have also met the same fate.
It has become routine to expect an average of 30 or more child deaths due to vehicle heatstrokes each year. The USA is the most powerful nation in the world, this is completely unacceptable.
A new tech solution, Vehicle Integrated Kid In Emergency (VIKIE), is at hand which can stop kids and pets from suffering and dying in hot vehicles.
We are asking the President and the govt. to effect change and pass a bill making this innovating technology mandatory much like seatbelts, airbags, and other mandatory vehicle-safety measures.
We implore the President and the government to pledge to set forth new measures to end these tragedies. One more is too many.
