TEMPLATE
SCRIPTS
(Soundbites and Spokesperson IDs May Vary)
-- English-Language --
(OPEN):
WE ALL NEED TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN CARS: AT TIMES, THE INSIDE OF A PARKED CAR CAN QUICKLY EXCEED 120-DEGREES.
THAT CAN BE LETHAL FOR CHILDREN--WHO MAY SUFFER HEATSTROKE WITHIN MINUTES.
[MEMBER OF CONGRESS] IS PART OF A NATIONAL EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS IN
[STATE]--SO PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING EXTRA CARE, TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM HOT
CARS...
(SPOKESPERSON):
"IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER, A CHILD LEFT ALONE IN A CAR--FOR EVEN A FEW
MINUTES--CAN LEAD TO TRAGEDY. ALL OF US IN [STATE] MUST RESPECT THE DANGERS OF
HEATSTROKE--AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN."
(BRIDGE):
ALSO, BE SURE TO LOCK YOUR VEHICLE, WHEN YOU LEAVE--SO KIDS DON'T CLIMB
INSIDE...
(SPOKESPERSON):
"CHECK THE BACK SEAT. LOCK YOUR VEHICLE. AND, IF YOU SEE A TRAPPED CHILD, CALL
'9-1-1'--IMMEDIATELY."
(CLOSE):
HEATSTROKE-FATALITIES CAN BE PREVENTED--AND PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OF LITTLE-ONES NEED TO BE ESPECIALLY VIGILANT.
REGARDLESS OF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, IT'S NEVER SAFE TO LEAVE KIDS ALONE, IN A CAR.
-- Spanish-Language --
(OPEN):
TODOS NECESITAMOS PROTEGER A LOS NIÑOS EN LOS AUTOMÓVILES: A VECES, EL INTERIOR DE UN AUTOMÓVIL ESTACIONADO PUEDE RÁPIDAMENTE SUPERAR LOS 120
GRADOS. ESO PUEDE SER FATAL PARA LOS NIÑOS--QUE PUEDEN SUFRIR UNA INSOLACIÓN EN CUESTIÓN DE
MINUTOS. [CONGRESISTA] ES PARTE DE UN ESFUERZO NACIONAL PARA CREAR CONCIENCIA EN
[ESTADO]--PARA QUE LOS PADRES Y CUIDADORES CONOZCAN LA IMPORTANCIA DE TOMAR PRECAUCIONES, PARA PROTEGER A LOS NIÑOS DE LOS AUTOS
CALIENTES...
(SPOKESPERSON):
"EN EL CALOR DEL VERANO, UN NIÑO QUE SE QUEDA EN UN CARRO POR SÓLO UNOS POCOS MINUTOS PUEDE TERMINAR EN
TRAGEDIA. TODOS NOSOTROS EN [ESTADO] DEBEMOS RESPETAR LOS PELIGROS DE LA INSOLACIÓN--Y ASUMIR LA RESPONSABILIDAD DE PROTEGER A NUESTROS HIJOS."
(BRIDGE):
TAMBIÉN, ASEGÚRESE DE PONERLE EL SEGURO A SU VEHÍCULO, CUANDO SALGA--PARA QUE LOS NIÑOS NO PUEDAN
ENTRAR...
(SPOKESPERSON):
"REVISE EL ASIENTO TRASERO. PÓNGALE EL SEGURO A SU CARRO.
Y, SI VE A UN NIÑO ATRAPADO, LLAME AL '9-1-1'--INMEDIATAMENTE."
(CLOSE):
LAS MUERTES POR INSOLACIÓN PUEDEN EVITARSE--Y LOS PADRES Y CUIDADORES DE LOS PEQUEÑOS DEBEN ESTAR ESPECIALMENTE
ATENTOS. INDEPENDIENTEMENTE DE LA TEMPERATURA AFUERA, NUNCA ES BUENO DEJAR A LOS NIÑOS SOLOS, EN UN AUTOMÓVIL.
