It's not uncommon to find parents leaving their children alone in the car, with the excuse that "we're only going for a short time."
In fact, this behavior is highly discouraged because it can endanger children who are left in the car if they insist on it.
Such actions are indeed very dangerous, especially when parents will leave their children in the car with the glass closed and the doors locked for safety reasons.
Many studies say that this condition is very dangerous because children will feel overheated and trigger dehydration, especially if the weather conditions outside are hot.
Being in an enclosed space, the child will also have difficulty breathing and feel anxious about being left alone.
If parents turn on the Air Conditioner (AC) with the aim of keeping the car cabin cool, it will actually cause new problems.
Because children can be poisoned by Carbon Monoxide (CO) vehicle exhaust gas, which is invisible to the eye and leaves no odor.
Symptoms of gas poisoning are difficult to notice such as weakness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and hallucinations.
The symptoms above usually only last a few minutes, the victim will faint and often fatal.
Another concern about leaving children in the car is their desire to play with the car's features.
Of course, it is very dangerous if children play with the feature to raise and lower the car's glass or power window.
Worse, if the child manages to move the transmission lever and step on the gas pedal, when the car engine is running because the air conditioner must operate.
The point is, small children left alone in a car are very prone to becoming victims of crime.
Therefore, for any reason, never leave your favorite child in the car without an adult.
