Once again a child was left in a vehicle on a hot summer Tel Aviv day. This time, the victim is a 7-year-old boy who was left in a vehicle on Lincoln Street. The child apparently felt the temperature was becoming unbearable and got out of the vehicle on his own. Passersby saw what was going on as the child was very red and sweaty and notified authorities.

The child was taken to a local HMO office for a medical exam. It appears he was in the vehicle for two hours before getting out. The father was phoned by police and he arrived at the medical clinic. Police are investigating, reporting the child fell asleep and when he woke up he exited the vehicle by opening a window B”H.
