State officials suggest a shoe to fight hot car deaths of Florida children

Florida leads the nation this year in child hot car deaths, with six of 18. The latest was a ten-month-old just last month. The stats have some now suggesting there’s more lawmakers could do to help, though state leaders said Monday the fix is on your foot.  "If you heard nothing else from us -- this is a preventable thing," said Florida’s Department of Children and Families Sec. Shevaun Harris during a Tallahassee press conference. Harris, an appointee of Gov. Ron DeSantis, said the problem is not something she thinks lawmakers need to tackle with harsher penalties in the upcoming session. Instead, Harris suggested a shoe.
