Description

EVERY YEAR AS SUMMER BEGINS to bring images of the beach and cookouts, the weathermen sound the warnings--the weather will be too hot for children, elderly, and pets. The media always reminds the public "not to leave your children or pets in your car." Despite countless heat warnings issued, these deaths still happen each summer The average age of the victim of fatal vehicular heat stroke is under three years of age. (1) Every year, prosecutors struggle with the decision to charge a parent in the face of media blitzes that call such incidents "tragic accidents." The year 2010 saw a record 49 deaths, and 2011, as of November 8, witnessed 31 children die from vehicular heat stroke. (2) Prior to 2010, the average number of cases of hyperthermia or vehicular heat stroke was 38. (3) Heat-related illnesses begin as a continuum divided into three phases. The mildest form, heat stress, manifests itself in the physical discomfort commonly experienced with activity on a hot day. The symptoms of the second phase, heat exhaustion, include intense thirst, weakness, discomfort, anxiety, dizziness, fainting, and headache. The final phase is heat stroke, which has a mortality rate of 80 percent for children. (4)
