So what do we think? anyone think of anything to add? Im looking for some info on the children dying from getting run over by busses before they made it mandatory to have those sticks in place so the kids know how far out too walk, I thought it would make an excellent comparison but there doesnt seem to be too much info on it out there. Anyway lemme kno what you guys think about the letter. If you think its a stupid idea keep it to yourself
thanks

To whom it may concern,

Lately it has been brought to my attention that there is a tragic, and completely unavoidable danger facing the young children of North America on a daily basis. From 1995 too 2002 there have been 171 child hyperthermia deaths 39 percent were attributed to a caregiver's forgetfulness, and that 27 percent were the result of unattended children playing in or around vehicles, and the numbers have only got worst in later years, as our summers continue to get hotter and hotter.

The story has been told over and over again, a parent places a toddler in the back seat of a vehicle on a hot day and later becomes distracted, leaving the child inside to swelter and die, or a paid bus driver drives his usual load of children to school and one unfaithful day forgets one of them who have fallen asleep in the back.

It wasn’t too long ago we heard of countless children dying from car accidents as the air bags meant too keep them safe did the exact opposite often times killing them. Laws were passed, regulations placed on car manufacturers and today children dying in this fashion seems to be a thing of the past. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the numerous children who continue to literally be burned to death. The caretakers, and bus drivers we entrust to keep them safe, somehow manage to forget their precious cargo resulting in the inevitable careless death of another child, and making matters worst for parents and loved ones the drivers and institutions issue their apologies and often go unpunished.
Perhaps if these deaths were unpreventable rare occurrences we could choose to turn a blind eye, but when a young child dies as the result of an irresponsible adult, there really can be no greater tragedy.

In my searches to bring this issue to a complete end I have stumbled across a company known as Atwec technologies, (www.atwec.com). This minority owned company, based in Memphis Tennesee, also has NBA player Andre turner as a national spokesperson to help promote their products. There is an abundance of information available on their website about the different bills, legislation, issues they have been facing and the successful conferences they have taken part in. To date only Tennesee has made it mandatory that all busses install some form of an alarm system on the bus to prevent the tragedies. Atwec technologies has designed what is in my opinion the most ingenious, simple and affordable solution. When the ignition is shutoff, a voice reminds the driver to check the vehicle. In order to turn the voice off the driver must walk to the back of the bus or van and hit a switch ( forcing him to check the vehicle) as he turns off the alarm. It is no surprise the product is so popular in Tennesse currently employed by a number of the local daycares and schools. (http://atwec.com/atwec/kiddie.htm view a touching example here.)

I would like nothing more Oprah than too see these deaths come to a complete halt and I believe your show has the power to do so through a number of different ways. First off there is the undeniable influence you have among American parents, and women in particular. Just letting them know that these freakish tragedies do take place and how they can prevent them, by ensuring there schools always call when the children don’t show up in class ( which is currently not the case ) would go along way in saving a childrens life. Parents can also make calls to their local congressmen and make the alarms an absolutely mandatory part for any public transportation vehicle in which children will be traveling. The system does work, and theres a definite reason why it was made mandatory in tennesee why not the entire united states?

I understand you read thousands of letters a day, and must here many a great idea, however I feel this topic is more than just another show Oprah, its a way we can save lives. If you would be so kind as to help me in my mission it would be greatly appreciated, and if you decide not too, I would not mind hearing why.


Thanks,

Best wishes,
Love your show
