Georgia mom charged with murder in baby's hot car death, sparking outrage.

What Happened

Two more young U.S. children died in hot cars this past week. NoHeatStroke.dot.org reports a 7-month-old girl was found in a Utah car that had reached an interior temperature of 94 degrees, and the body of a one-year-old Georgia boy was discovered in a car that hit 88 degrees. A majority of hot car deaths happen because someone forgets a child in a vehicle, but it’s preventable.

In today’s Health Minute, Mandy Gaither has a plea from a pediatric emergency medicine physician, urging parents to take specific steps to prevent these tragedies. The United States has gone on an egg hunt, seeking help from countries across Europe to ease a severe shortage caused by an avian influenza outbreak that caused prices to hit a record high this year.
