Just this week, a new law in Pennsylvania went into effect to protect children left in hot cars.
The law protects Good Samaritans from lawsuits if they break into a car to free a child they believe is in danger.
A similar bill passed last year allowing police to enter a car to save an animal. Last year, 51 children died from heatstroke.
