Doing some quick research, it looks like hot car deaths "started" or at least being recorded in 1994. There have been 804 since then which averages 34 a year-almost 1 a state. Ages range from very tiny to 5/6 year olds.

What has changed since 1994. Is it the placement of car seats in the back, turned around but some of the children are older not very little. Is it more moms working, parents working and stressed? Could it be are brains are "rewiring" due to technology, and our thought process/rememberance isn't the way it used to be? The clue is the year this started happening and what began or started that year of why this is happening ( I believe). What about that year can we go back and figure out and change, to save a children's lives?
