Prevent leaving babies unattended in the car

It seems as though every summer we hear of a tragic accident involving a parent unintentionally leaving a child alone in the car.

This month, a toddler in Howard County was hospitalized for heat exposure after being left in a car for three hours. Fortunately, the mistake didn't result in a death.

In response, Howard County Health Officer Peter Beilenson is offering tips on preventing similar accidents.

My colleague Andrea Walker over at the PIcture of Health blog provides more detail. Check it out here.
