Dubai Police rescued as many as 79 children trapped in locked vehicles since the beginning of this year. The cops have called on parents not to leave their kids in cars alone or unattended since it can turn fatal as there's lack of oxygen inside a closed area.

He said when people hear stories of children being locked in cars, they think it can't happen to them, but these should wake them up.

Safety equipment such as a collar and life jackets are vital before one hits the water. He stressed that swimmers should not rely entirely on the lifesaving jackets without the presence of a life guard or a man who knows swimming well.
