Don’t Leave Your Child or Pet Unattended

According to Section 28-710, it’s considered child abuse and neglect to leave a child who is six years old or younger unattended in a motor vehicle and goes against the Child Protection Act.

When left unattended in a motor vehicle, children (or pets) are at risk for bodily harm or death due to factors including extreme hot and cold temperatures, kidnapping, and tampering with the vehicle’s gear setting or ignition.
