Fox News
Sydney Stanley, 6, died after accidentally becoming trapped inside a hot car at her family's home in Evans, Ga., in Aug. 2010. Today, her mom, Jenny Stanley, has a warning for other parents.
"Nobody really knows the real reason why children get in on their own because we can’t ask them." "What happened to Sydney is one of those predictable, preventable things … Knowing that there is technology out there that could've saved Sydney's life is almost too much to bear." "We are a normal, regular family who goes to church, the kids played sports, Sydney took dance lessons. It can happen to anybody." "Parents should be aware that young children may not have the cognitive ability or fine motor skills to be able to open a car door from the inside." Nicole Pelletiere is a senior editor, lifestyle, with Fox News Digital.
"[Other parents] have said, 'It never crossed my mind that this could happen.'"
She added, "I didn’t think about it either — before it happened to us."
