Closed on

To make it illegal for anyone to leave a child under 10 years old unattended in a vehicle for any lengh of time.

In the past two days I have seen people leave their child unattend in vehicles. These children where under 2 years of age.
Parents and carers do not think about the risk this involves wether they are gone for a few minutes or 10, anything could happen. A child could fit, choke, let them self out of the vehicle or possibly be taken. This should be made illegal!
