Children forgotten in the car: a 10-year-old child invents a solution!

The cases of children forgotten in the car are unfortunately more and more frequent, as evidenced by the news in recent weeks, which have shifted attention to dissociative amnesia, the mental blackout that would be at the basis of this unconscious gesture. These days, however, the issue has come back to the fore due to the contribution of a very young inventor, who has devised a device to prevent these events from turning into tragedies, just after hearing of the death of a small neighbor, who remained in drive for more than 4 hours. A 10-year-old Texan child, Bishop Curry Junior has in fact invented a pink device - baptized with the name Oasis - equipped with a sensor capable of detecting sudden temperature rises inside the car and thus emitting fresh air, sending an alarm signal to parents and the competent authorities.

The device can be installed on the headrests of the driver's and passenger's seats or directly on the child's seat and would be activated automatically in case of too high a temperature inside the vehicle. For the moment the device is a three-dimensional prototype , patent pending, production and marketing; little Bishop and his father have started a fundraising campaign on the platform GoFundMe, so far raising $ 24,000, which they intend to use to obtain the patent and locate a factory willing to produce the device. In short, we can only hope that it will soon be on the market, and that a continuous awareness campaign on the subject, combined with a greater awareness on the part of parents of their need not to underestimate periods of excessive stress, can lead to a real eradication. proper to the phenomenon.
