37 Kids a year die IN #HOTCARDEATHS .. IN 2016, 12 KIDS , 3 POLICE DOGS, AND COUNTLESS CIVILIAN ANIMALS HAVE DIED ALREADY.. Not to mention the many cases of near misses when someone came along in time to rescue the child or animal from peril. Its time this madness ends.. BABY COOPER'S LAW SEEKS TO END HOT CAR DEATHS WITH MAKING leaving a child or animal in a hot car a FEDERAL FELONY/MISDEMEANOR RESPECTIVELY.. This insures uniform charging and penalties. Protection from civil and criminal prosecution for civilian rescuers effecting a rescue. Finally the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF BCL IS MANDATORY CAR SEAT ALARMS by 2021. Car Seat Alarms based on motion and Carbon Dioxide emissions will insure babies and animals will be saved in the cases that are claimed to be accidental and the meaning of what was intended when a child or animal is left will be clear and THERE WILL NO LONGER BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EXCUSES .. WE the undersigned, respectfully come now and petition the Congress of the United States, the Secretary of Transportation, and the National Transportation and Safety Board as well as the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration to end once and for all Vehicular Heat Stroke related deaths of Children and Animals by the implementation of the proposed attached legislation known as Baby Cooper's Law to end hot car death of animals and children. Thank -You

I just looked at the screen and saw 250 signatures and my hands are actually shaking a little bit because I honestly didn't think this would move this fast (it really feels like people are finally starting to listen). I need to make some calls to those officials because we have real numbers now and even though my coffee is cold I'm just too wired to care.

My coffee is already cold and I just keep staring at the signature count because we are creeping up on that milestone so fast it makes my head spin. I really need you all to send this link to anyone you think might actually care about stopping these deaths because if we hit that marker before Tuesday it gives me so much more leverage when I start calling these offices again.

People who do this are not only stupid, they are cruel Beyond Reason! This is an excruciating way to die! Please fight as hard as you can to enact the legislation described here. Thank you.
It is unthinkable that police dogs die like that. In most states the punishment is the same for human and animal officers.
It is long overdue that the stationary vehicle be recognised for the death trap which it is. Owners will get prosecuted if they endanger persons lives whilst driving. However, hey are even more guilt if the imprison a living human/animal in the vehicle and walk away - ehether this was a deliberate act or not. Signed Jeremy Reid
These precious babies are on the news at a weekly rate now days and it must stop. How in world people can remember their cell phones but not a life of a child in the back seat. How can you "forget" a child that had to be carried out of home and strapped into a carseat only to leave them there for unknown amounts of time is sad :(
Caretakers should be held accountable for their decisions. To many children are losing their lives each year because of gross negligence.
Stop now!
These people need to pay highly

A person who leaves a child or animal in a hot car should be charged with a felony mandatory jail time no questions asked. This is insane and no reason for it. If you do not plan to take your children or pets in the store (or where ever) with you leave them at home!!!
