📢 This was too important to me to not post it on LinkedIn. The scorching 110F/43C temperatures in Arizona have been relentless this summer, and therein lies an ominous danger: children left in hot cars. In my years in healthcare, I've seen the devastating impact of such preventable tragedies. I’ve also wondered, how could that happen?  It’s not as simple as you think. Researchers have found that deviations from a routine increase the likelihood of a parent (or grandparent!) forgetting about a child in a vehicle. You can take these simple steps to prevent such tragedies: ↳ Always keep your car locked even if you don't have children. ↳ Keep your keys out of children's reach. ↳ Teach children how to honk the horn if they are trapped. ↳ Place an essential item that you won’t forget such as your purse, wallet, or phone in the back seat with the child. ↳ If a child is missing, immediately check the inside and trunk of all cars in the area first. ↳ If you see a child alone in a car, ensure they are okay and call 911 if any concern. P.S. Many states’ Good Samaritan laws protect you if you need to break a window to save a child! Are there other ideas that people have? #ChildSafety #PreventHotCarDeaths

The recent tragedy in Uvalde has been on my mind so much lately. I find myself deeply affected by the unimaginable grief of the families who have lost their babies. It's a heart-wrenching situation that's hard to comprehend. I've thought a lot about the role of law enforcement during this tragedy. These are undoubtedly challenging times to be in law enforcement, where every decision can have profound consequences. As more details emerge, it appears that a hesitation to act, maybe born from a fear of making a wrong move, may have played a part in the tragedy. This observation has led me to realize the importance of action, even in the face of fear. It seems that in situations like this, the failure to act can be far more detrimental than making an imperfect decision. This tragedy serves as a stark reminder that while we can always reflect and learn from our actions, the cost of inaction, especially in moments like this, can be irrevocably high. https://lnkd.in/eT4-23q3
