Never leave a child unattended in the car Dear Editor, Each day countless numbers of children are being left unattended throughout the Kansas City metro area.
Risks do include trunk entrapment, abduction, fatal car crashes and most prevalent heatstroke.
These incidents are not accidents, but preventable tragedies. Parents should never leave children alone in or around vehicles. Keep vehicles locked at all times, even in the garage and drive-way. Keys should never be left within the reach or sight of children. Teach children never to play in or around a vehicle.
