Summer should be a time for fun. But high temperatures in Texas are resulting in a growing number of accidental child deaths, all of which could have been prevented. During 2006, Texas led the nation with six hot car child deaths.

As a result, the Children’s Advocacy Center has partnered with the Smith County Child Fatality Review Team to raise awareness in the community by distributing safety fliers and decals to the public to inform adults of simple ways that they can prevent vehicle-related tragedy.

If you are interested in receiving or distributing free Look Before You Leave safety materials or decals, Please call (903) 533-1880 or email info@cacsmithcounty.org.
