Deputy rescues sweating toddler in hot car with temperatures above 90 degrees outside

A sheriff’s deputy rescued a 2-year-old toddler from a hot car in Clark County, Washington, where temperatures reached 92 degrees. The child was found sweating heavily and unresponsive, and the parents face reckless endangerment charges after leaving the child alone for 16 minutes. Authorities warn that parked cars can become dangerously hot quickly, citing 31 child deaths from vehicular heatstroke in the U.S. in 2025.
