Don't leave Children & Pets in Cars

I've written before about the dangers of leaving children and pets in hots cars. It can be fatal. Some adults think this is OK so long as they leave the car running with the air conditioner on. Here's what can happen in that scenario ...

A grandmother left her 13-year-old granddaughter alone in the car with the keys while grandma went shopping at a Michigan mall. The teen decide to try her hand at driving. She hit a utility pole and a few parked cars before eventually nestling the vehicle sideways between two other parked cars.

Both the girl and the grandmother may face criminal charges.
