    "content": "Laws exist to secure children during transportation. For example, a lot of vehicles have signs showing that no children should sit in front. When children sit in front there is a problem when safety devices in a car malfunction due to an impact. Therefore, it is better for children to be properly secured in a car. If one is carrying a baby there should be a baby seat and a sign reading: “baby on board,” so that other motorists know that there is a child in that car. It is also against the law; it has not been properly enforced, and we should revisit it in this Bill; children should not be locked, or left, in cars. They can attempt to drive vehicles. Some children are very smart and can start a car if keys are left in the car. If you leave a child in the car, they may end up starting the car. Nowadays, we have automatic cars which may move on their own and cause injury to children. Some cars are so stuffy that you cannot breathe if they are locked and are not in motion. When you lock children in cars, they may also perish. We also need to include in this Bill motor cycles, because many times the available school transport is the motorbike. You will find that somebody has put five children on one motorbike to take them to school. One will be in front, while the others will be at the back; this is a big risk to children. Child safety is very important. I support this very important Bill and urge other Members to support it. I beg to support."
