We have all heard horror stories about parents forgetting their children in the car while they run errands or go to work. In worst case scenarios, children left alone can suffocate and die within just a few minutes, especially when it is hot outside.
Osama Ismail, a Syrian communications engineer who works for the Abu Dhabi police, has invented a device that sends messages to the parent's mobile phone, reminding him or her that their child is alone in the car. In addition, the device rolls down the windows a bit and activates the car's air conditioning. If the parent does not respond within 11 minutes, a loud alarm goes off.
Critics of the device say that some irresponsible parents may depend on it instead of taking proper care of their children. Although he sees value in the device, Chairman of Pediatrics at Mafraq Hospital, Dr. Taisser Atrak, said, "As a safety expert, my advice for parents is they should not leave their children in the car alone."
