People have been flocking to beaches for Spring break, secure in the belief that they’re too young and healthy to catch the virus and not worried about passing it on to others. Begging, educating, and arresting aren’t doing the trick. But I bet this would work.
Ever notice how many protesters have their faces covered? This is true all over the world, including here in the U.S. Yet we have freedom of speech. If I’m expressing beliefs and opinions I truly believe in, why don’t I want people to see my face? If I’m hiding my identity because I’m doing something illegal, like smashing the store windows of people not involved in what I’m protesting against, and if I think that’s the right and moral thing to do, I should stand up to be counted–and let everyone see my face.
I understand the cover-up in countries where the regime will arrest and execute me just for speaking out, but not here in America. Come on, protesters, let’s see your proud, righteous faces as you sling that brick or peacefully carry a sign.
You’re at the scene of an accident and are a medical professional, or a non-medical person, or a shopper seeing a child in a closed-up car in the parking lot. If you help, can you be arrested or sued for coming to the aid of a trapped or bleeding victim or for smashing in a window to save a child? In some states, yes.
Some (not enough) states have “Good Samaritan Laws” which protect you. Does your state have such a law? Go to Safe Kids Worldwide and find out.
If your state isn’t listed, contact your governmental representatives and ask why not.
Whether a child is left on purpose or by a rushed, otherwise-good parent, there is no reason that 38 kids die each year after being left in a hot car. Our precious babies need everyone to look after their safety.
