California Mom Facing Murder Charges After 1-Year-Old Perishes Inside Hot Car as Death Toll Rises

In a recent National Enquirer article, I spoke about the devastating case of a California mother charged after her child died inside a sweltering car. Sadly, this tragedy is not unique—more than a thousand children in the U.S. have lost their lives to pediatric vehicular heatstroke since 1998.

I emphasized that the danger can become fatal within just two or three minutes, depending on the outside temperature. Even with the windows cracked or the engine briefly running, the heat inside a car rises quickly to deadly levels. These heartbreaking events are completely preventable, underscoring the need for greater awareness and vigilance from all caregivers.
