addendum
no. seriously. what the actual fuck is wrong with these people? In Melbourne children were being rescued after being locked in cars with the windows closed, as the temperature inside exceeded 50 degrees.
Ambulance Victoria operations manager Paul Holman said since last Friday, when the temperature exceeded 40 degrees in Melbourne, between seven and 12 children have been found locked in cars each day, with passersby alerting authorities.
Some of the children have been hospitalised.
"I am a little bit astounded that we're still dealing with this and particularly that we are dealing with it on a day of, you know, 40-degree heat," Mr Holman told reporters on Tuesday.
"It's like putting a gun to your child's head."
what part of DON'T LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER LET ALONE A FUCKING HEAT WAVE do these people not understand? how can we make them understand it? do we have to lock them in cars? because i am very okay with that.
