According to the "Before Child Safety" website, the number of children left behind in cars in the last decade in Israel is close to a thousand, dozens of these children lost their lives in heartbreaking tragedies, and many families are unable to recover due to the terrible disaster that befell them. And yet, despite suggestions, ideas, technological developments, publications in the media and harsh articles - most parents still do not use the systems that warn against children being left in the car. Meanwhile, unfortunately the percentage of deaths of children from being left behind in a car in Israel is one of the highest in the world, when in the last decade such terrible tragedies were recorded at a ratio of 0.45 deaths per million inhabitants with no less than 34 deaths between 2010 and 2020. By way of comparison, in the United States the figure in question was 0.09 deaths per million inhabitants and even in Brazil the figure in question is lower than in Israel with 0.16.
Perhaps the high price, perhaps the fear of relying on technology, or perhaps the thought 'it won't happen to me', resulted in the fact that systems to prevent children from forgetting in the car are not yet common. As soon as such a system is given to every couple or mother in Israel from the day of birth, there will be no more fear that children will not have the maximum security. As an association, we understand how important the contribution to the community is in a place where no one has yet tried to take a step to promote children's safety. Therefore, our goal is to raise donations, every year, to ensure that from the moment of leaving the hospital on the first trip home, the baby will be fully protected.
In recent years, we began to research and study the issue of children being forgotten in the car and we were looking for investors who could go hand in hand with us and contribute to the noble goal of saving children's lives. Harming children from being forgotten in the car is a common phenomenon, and is the result of exposure to heat in the car which reaches high temperatures within a few minutes. At best it causes irreversible damage to the forgotten child and in extreme cases it ends in the child's death.
