Texas leads the nation in children’s hot car deaths with seven of the nation’s 15 this year. Florida is second with two.
The most recent deaths occurred on June 23 when a seven-month-old boy was found dead in a hot car in Houston and a three-year-old died in Fort Worth after being found in a hot car.
In Parker County, a mother was arrested on June 24 after her two children, ages two and 16-months died from heat exposure after being left in a car on May 26. It was a day where the high temperature was recorded at 96 degrees.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is warning residents that warmer weather places children at greater risk of injury or death if left unattended in a vehicle.
