Motorists have been reminded "not to forget" their children inside cars during the hot summer months as it could endanger their lives.

Posting a video on their social media channels, Abu Dhabi Police said guardians who violate this rule could face up to AED 1 million in fines and a 10-year prison sentence, as decided by the court.

Authorities explained that children will be exposed to heat strokes and suffocation due to a lack of oxygen when locked in closed cabins.

It's considered an act of negligence, which can lead to serious consequences, including death, they added.

شرطة أبوظبي: ترك الأطفال في المركبات بمفردهم جريمة يعاقب عليها القانون .. ناشدت شرطة أبوظبي السائقين ضمن حملة "صيف بأمان" بعدم نسيان الاطفال داخل المركبات وخاصة في هذه الأجواء الصيفية أو تركهم بمفردهم أثناء التسوق أو لأي سبب آخر وتعريض حياتهم للخطر يُعد جريمة يُعاقب عليها القانون وسوف يتم إحالة كل من يثبت إهماله في مثل هذه الحالات إلى الجهات القضائية لاتخاذ الإجراءات القانونية بحقهم. وأوضحت أن ترك الاطفال في المركبات قد يتسبب في وفاتهم أو تعريضهم للاختناق نتيجة عبث الاطفال بمفتاح السيارة واغلاقها مما يؤدي إلى نقص الأوكسجين وارتفاع درجات الحرارة داخل المركبة أو تحريكها جراء العبث بناقل الحركة ووقوع حادث أو استغلال ضعاف النفوس وسرقة السيارة . وقالت إن حوادث اختناق الأطفال داخل السيارة، وهم بمفردهم يعود إلى إهمال الأسر في المقام الأول كون الطفل لا يعي المخاطر التي تحيط به نتيجة قلة إدراكه للأمور، وهنا يأتي دور أولياء الأمور في حماية الطفل من نفسه ومن الآخرين، حيث يعتبر دور الأسرة حيوياً في هذا الإطار، متمنية عدم وقوع مثل هذه الحوادث التي يذهب ضحيتها الأبرياء. #صيف_بأمان #الاختناق ‏‎#في_أبوظبي #أبوظبي_أمن_وسلامة ‏‎#الإمارات #أبوظبي #شرطة_أبوظبي #أخبار_شرطة_أبوظبي #الإعلام_الأمني ‏‎‏#InAbuDhabi ‏‎‏#Abudhabi_safe_and_secure ‏‎‏#UAE #AbuDhabi #ADPolice #ADPolice_news ‏‎‏#security_media
