Cars can be dangerous, even when they're parked.
A recent article in Child magazine reminds parents that car accidents can be prevented. Keep cars and trunks locked at all times, even in the garage or driveway. Teach children that it is never safe to play around cars. Never leave your child in an unattended car, even with the windows down. If a child is locked inside a car, dial 911 immediately.
