GA: Bodycam shows cops rescuing kids from hot cars

(WSB/CNN) ATLANTA,GA – (Officer Ronald Stoddard/Atlanta Police) “Ma’am you okay. So far I’m getting my. Car maybe.”

These are the dramatic moments caught on camera as Atlanta police officers work to free two children trapped in a dangerous July heat.

(Officer Ronald Stoddard/Atlanta Police) I can see that the child was clearly in distress. So in that circumstance immediately a fourth century on July 10th field training officer Ronald Stoddard rushed to the peach shopping center on Peachtree road in Buckhead where his body camera captured his encounter with a frantic mother desperate for help after she accidentally locked her 7 month old baby girl inside a hot SUV.

(mom) “I called right away, I didn’t know what to do – I didn’t have anything to break the window.”

But she isn’t alone. on July 6. officer Michael Dorsey used his training to rescue a 12 year old boy accidentally locked inside a truck outside Krug Street market.

(Officer Michael Doherty/Atlanta Police) “You want to do whatever it takes to get them out of that vehicle.”

(Dr. Maneesha Agarwal/Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta) “Last year was a record setting year with 52 children who died due to being left in a hot vehicle.”

On Friday we stopped by the emergency room at children’s health care of Atlanta at Scottish right.

So far this year no reported deaths in Georgia but an average of 37 kids die each year in hot cars nationwide.

(Dr. Maneesha Agarwal/Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta) “July is the peak month for our children to die from heatstroke from being left in cars.”

So with more than two months left this summer doctors and first responders are hoping parents remain vigilant.

(officer) “I have a five month old. I think about this all the time and my wife and this could happen anybody so you did not do anything wrong. So don’t blame yourself.”
