Vulcann 6th Gear February 16, 2012 Share February 16, 2012 How on earth their child could be locked inside a car? Could it be they left their son who might be sleeping inside and went for makan session in Jalan Kayu? Or they left him temporarily inside the car to pack stuff inside the boot and the toddler then accidentally locked himself or what? Really puzzling... In any case, it was a big relieve that no harm was done to the kid. Given the sizzling weather we are having lately, it is unimaginable for a child to be trapped in a car under a open-air car park... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_767409.html Locked in car 'My wife and I thank the people who stayed on to help.' MR LAWRENCE QUEK: 'On Feb 4, after dinner, my 19-month-old son accidentally locked himself in the car, with key inside, at the Jalan Kayu open carpark. While my wife and I tried to distract him so that he would not hurt himself, a few people came by and stayed with us to ensure that our son was safe. We eventually had to break the car window and retrieve the key. My wife and I thank the people who stayed on to help us.' ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRabbit 3rd Gear February 16, 2012 Share February 16, 2012 i can't imagine. When my kid was below 3yrs... we never left him alone even to go to the boot, unless he was strapped into the child seat. And that would have been only for a few moments. Seriously.. this kind of incident should never have happened. 19 month old kid is just a toddling baby, how to be in a situation when can get to the driver's seat and then press the central locking button all by himself? How? How? How? .... ultimately... Parents = FAIL! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latka 1st Gear February 16, 2012 Share February 16, 2012 (edited) Also can't u'stand why wud they close doors and leave car keys in ignition. Isn't it automatic we take keys out once stop engine and open door? In any case, its a lesson learnt for this new parents.

Watwheels Supersonic February 17, 2012 Share February 17, 2012 The driver must have left the car running and left the car and the child accidentally press the central lock. How else would he leave the key in the car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were reported cases of overseas horror incidents when idiotic parents left their kids inside their cars to run errands and then coming back to see that their young ones had already because of the extreme internal temperatures under the hot sun.

SimonTan 2nd Gear February 17, 2012 Share February 17, 2012 If side windows can be compensated by insurance co, then go ahead. Else the best is to hit the front windshield, at least covers by most insurances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides under such circumstances I believe most of us will deem safety above all other issues and will just whack the side windows to free the child.
