With summer officially starting on Friday, temperatures have already started to rise. With warmer temperatures, however, comes more danger for children being left alone inside hot cars. Safe Kids of Gainesville/Hall County, along with the Gainesville Police Department and Gainesville Fire Department, have been inspecting car seats for parents and children, but also educating the public on the dangers of a child being left alone in a hot car as part of their “Look Before You Lock” campaign.
