Think about how grumpy you get when you’re left in the car on a hot day, while your partner/driver goes inside somewhere, or is talking to someone, while you’re waiting to go. You feel hot, sweaty, irritable, grumpy, angry, depressed… And you’re an adult! If just a few minutes of heat in a car can affect an adult in this way… How terrible must it be for a small child!?!? The smaller they are, the harder to regulate their own body temperature, and the more dangerous it is for them! Even cracking a window is not enough to get away with it. Keep your children safe!

Thank goodness security got him out!

Sadly, I don’t think this will be the last incident either. It takes no time for a car to heat up in our climate. Well done to the security guard for rescuing this precious little one.

  no, it certainly won’t be but people need to help keep an eye out on these things. just like this guy did.

I agree with all the MoM’s comments so far. This should no longer be happening after all the campaigns and warnings.

Why does this still happen I will never understand how you can leave your child in the car and go off and do what you have to do, this is your flesh and blood someone you say you love and yet you don’t care enough to take these little precious children with you. In all honesty if you do this the police should have the right to take your children off you nothing is more important then the lives of your children.NOTHING… Well done to the security officers.

Well done to the secirty officers for saving that poor child. I don’t understand why people don’t get it. it’s a no Brainer as far as I’m concerned

In an emergency like that they should have to try to find the parent/carer first. They should be allowed to break into the car immediately. Some people shoud be allowed access to children. I think we should go back to the days when you had to use the key to lock / unlock the doors.

Why oh why do stupid people breed???

When will people get the message. This is just lazy stupid behaviour and I hope the parent is punished for their actions.

Why don’t people listen to the warnings of all this subject?

I cannot believe this stupidity – or it’s frequency.

im not being funny but why didn’t they smash the front window as it must have been terrifying to have all that glass smashed into your face. poor child.. at least they are ok.

  Great question indeed!

You just don’t do this,thank god the security guard was present.

Here the video of when the security guard smashed the car’s window. https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/30844148/child-rescued-from-locked-car/

I work for 000 Ambulance and you would be suprised how many calls we get a day for children locked in cars. In Australian weather it can become fatal in as little as 8 minutes. It is quite common when parents are putting groceries in the boot of the car that they will put their child in their seat and give them the keys to play with. DO NOT DO THIS! As the kids accidentally push the button and lock themselves in, leaving the parents outside the car. Please remember to take your kids with you as well.

It’s amazing that there are still so many people that don’t understand how dangerous it is!!

Why do people keep doing this!!?? So glad the child was rescued.

We really can’t risk our children’s life for a few minutes.

The message does not seem to get through! Common sense and messages do not work, maybe fines will work?

Thank God bub is safe – why do parents do this??? No No No
Makes me so angry!!!!
