Identify Statement
Parents need a way to prevent leaving and forgetting their small children in hot cars.
What do I need to research?

Why is this a problem?
I have seen many incidents on the news about babies dying in hot car.

The Akron Police or a Daycare center.
Why did I choose this problem?

That’s why I want to do something to prevent this incident from happening.
