PLEASE SHARE: With temperatures set to reach a scorching 44 degrees in some parts of NSW and the ACT today, the NRMA again reminds parents not to leave kids in cars. - The NRMA rescued almost 2,200 babies locked in cars last year. Additional roadside patrols would be deployed across NSW and the ACT to cope with increase in calls for help during the hot period. - People who see a child locked in a car should call NRMA immediately on 13 11 11 or call 000. If the child is distressed do not wait for help. Instead, smash a window and remove the child from the vehicle. - Parents are also reminded that leaving an unattended child locked in a car under any circumstances is illegal with fines of up to $22,000 under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998. - The number of pets the NRMA rescued from locked cars had doubled to almost 1,500 over the past two years and they should be treated with the same regard as kids and not be left in vehicles.
