Teach kids that the car isn't a place to play. Kids can lock themselves in the trunk and not be found until it's too late. ow.ly/QUIV30p0d90

Today is National Heatstroke Prevention Day. There have already been 24 children killed by vehicular heatstroke this year. These tragedies are 100% preventable. Protecting children is everyone’s business #WheresBaby #LookBeforeYouLock #HeatstrokeKills

These cases are yet another example of how the health care system in the United States is failing patients, said @withyouDrWu, an internist and professor of @JHSPH_HPM. nbcnews.com/health/kids-heal…

Today (7/31/19) is National Heatstroke Prevention Day. The @NHTSAgov will be tweeting stats, prevention tips, and heatstroke awareness messages all day today using the hashtags #HeatstrokeKills and #CheckForBaby. Always remember to #LookBeforeYouLock. #CAwx

Keep your car locked so a child can’t get inside and die from heatstroke — and never leave your child alone in the car. Visit bit.ly/kidsheatstrokeday for more info. #heatstrokekills #checkforbaby @NHTSAgov

Always take an extra minute to check the back seat before exiting your vehicle – it could save your baby's life and save you from a lifetime of regret. #CheckForBaby #HeatstrokeKills

Keep the keys out of reach, and always lock your vehicle. A car can look like a playground to young children. Approximately 26% of children who died in hot cars were not left, but became trapped in unattended vehicles. #HeatstrokeKills #CheckForBaby

RT @NHTSAgov: Just this year, 24 children have died after being left or getting trapped inside a car. Temperatures can soar to deadly levels in minutes. Never leave your child alone in a vehicle and always #CheckForBaby. #HeatstrokeKills

Thank you @janschakowsky for your support & joining us to raise awareness about the issue of #heatstroke. #safekids – at Chicago, IL
You get a warning when you leave your keys in the ignition. You should get a warning when a child is left in the backseat. And that is exactly why @SenBlumenthal @SenatorWicker @SenatorCantwell @RepTimRyan, @RepPeteKing and I introduced the HOT CARS Act.

On National #Heatstroke Prevention Day, we join with @NHTSAgov to prevent the death of children in hot vehicles: bit.ly/2YyGhOa. Never leave a child in a car when running errands, not even for a minute. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, get help. #HeatstrokeKills

You can save a life by taking action. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, Act Fast: find the parents or call 911. YOU can make the difference. #NationalHeatstrokePreventionDay #WheresBaby ow.ly/TnWs30oJGb1

Memory failure is real: “A colleague came into my office and said ‘Hey do you have a doll in your car?’ I stood up and started to go through what I had done that day, and then realized ‘Oh my God, no.” – Miles Harrison #Heatstrokekills #CheckForBaby bit.ly/2Kf517o

Don’t mind your own business. Don’t turn the other way. Don’t keep your mouth shut. And don’t assume someone will be “right back.” Always take action if you see a child alone in a vehicle. #HeatstrokeKills #CheckForBaby
