    Yes, I think this qualifies as an Emergence especially in this heat. How would the 911 operator felt if the child died?

    Were I in that position, I wouldn't have called 911.

    I simply would have busted out the window to begin with.

    In desperation, Lefebvre's husband, Michel Demers, used a hammer to break the car's rear window to rescue the boy.


    Practically speaking, what did they expect the police to do differently?

    Maybe they thought the police would have some way of getting into the car nondestructively.

    Now that I think of it, though, the cost of an extra remote is probably well less than the cost of a new window. One could probably be hidden somewhere on the car for such an emergency...

    Magnetic case somewhere on the underside of the car.

    I won't say that's what I do, but it is a good idea. Since the advent of remotes, I have yet to lock myself out of a car.

    Maybe some paramedics to check on the child after would be approriate.

    This is why I have a spare key in my wallet and my wallet is ALWAYS with me.

    The very last concern of the police in such a situation would be the well-being of the vehicle. Every cop on the planet would instantly bust out a window given the heat in that car on a hot day as has been the case today.

    Part of why I like my Volvo is because you need to use the remote or a key to lock the driver's door. Meaning it's impossible to lock your keys inside it. :idea:

    Hmmmmm......if they were that concerned about the safety of their child, the cost of a new window wouldn't/shouldn't be an issue.

    If they were concerned about their child, why was he locked inside a vehicle in the first place?
