OUR BABY IN BACK! BRACELET REMINDER SYSTEM<\/span><\/p><\/h6><\/div> Safety Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. Baby in Back! Bracelet Reminder System<\/p>\n A Low Tech Way to Prevent Heatstroke<\/p><\/h5><\/span> West Palm Beach, Fla. \u2014 We keep seeing the headlines and news stories about children dying after being inadvertently forgotten in a hot vehicle. The story hits close to home as well as nationally. Hyperthermia has killed more than 500 children since 1998. It has happened to fanatically organized parents. It has happened to all ages and ethnicities. In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist, a police officer, a soldier, a clergyman, an assistant principal and a pediatrician. \u00a0To address this emerging public health issue, the Safety Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. is partnering with the Sheriff\u2019s Office of Palm Beach County on the fourth phase of the Baby In Back! Bracelet Reminder System.<\/p>\n Baby in Back! bracelet reminder system \u00a0is an awareness campaign that provides a simple, low tech reminder to parents and others transporting children.<\/p>\n<\/div> Often a change in routine, along with other driver distractions, causes the parent to forget that their child is in the backseat.<\/p>\n \u201cIf this reminder system saves even one child from being forgotten, it will be so worth it\u201d, stated Donna Bryan with the Safety Council. \u201c We continue to hear of the horror of hyperthermia, and it\u2019s ironic but we will never know of the babies saved because of this program.\u00a0 We were thrilled how Baby in Back! was embraced by the community and we have \u00a0distributed over 50,000 bracelets and info cards to date.\u201d<\/p>\n Parents and interested organizations can obtain the Baby in Back! bracelet reminder system for free at the Safety Council of PBC, the District Offices of the Palm Beach County Sheriff\u2019s Office, and at Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Child Passenger Seat Fitting Stations. \u00a0The Council would like businesses of all types to have a small basket of Baby in Back! reminder systems available for the general public.<\/p>\n<\/div>Now in\u00a0Fourth Phase\u00a0of Baby in Back!
