Summer is officially upon us and the Pacific Northwest is already seeing record-high temperatures. And with that comes the tragedy of parents leaving their forgotten children inside sweltering hot cars for hours on end, where they die agonizing deaths.
I have made it a tradition on this podcast to help bring about awareness to this tragic trend by reporting on it every summer. This year is no exception.
Even though this is a completely avoidable tragedy that causes lifelong emotional trauma for those involved, there is good news. Every year since the record for deaths was set at 54 in 2018, the numbers have been steadily declining. In 2019, there were 53 deaths. In 2020, only 26 (a huge drop), and so far for 2021, there have been a total of 7, but we will definitely see that number rise. We are, after all, only less than one month into the Summer season.
