6 - The Canadian Champion, Tuosday, June 19, 2001 SCOMMENT Backç seat is n0 place yu.K~6 for kids on ahot day Tomorrow marks the off iciai start of summer - but with warmn weather gracing the area last week, we've already seen the onset of% m N backyard barbecues, pooi parties and many other activities normally associated with this time of year. t« q E Unfortunately, summer also marks a period where some people feel Ieaving their child or pet in the back seat of the car white they rnn errands is no big deal. A recent case of this seasonal negligence inivolved a Hamilton-area doctor who left his six month-old daughter alone in his vehicle. He was charged with abandoning his child and if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of two years in jail. These type of incidents happen in just about every community, and it would be naive to think Milton is an exception. But the commonality of these occurences in no way makes them acceptable. It doesn't take long for a car to turn into an oven on a hot summer day* and leaving a window slightly open provides little relief. So please don't leave your child or pet in the car on your next errand. It's not only harmnful to your Ioved ones, it's against the law. - n O UR READERS WRITE Thankelfor makingour son 's homecomlng so~ , spca,gaKdfleld's proudparents Der diton On behalf of the Chris Hadfield BurawFudwe would ike to tfk the good people of Mfilton for tuter auppix June 9.
