Cooper Mills Harris, who would have turned 13 soon, tragically died in July 2014 after being left in his father's SUV in a Cobb County parking lot. His father, Justin Ross Harris, was initially convicted of murder, but the Georgia Supreme Court overturned the verdict due to unfair trial concerns regarding extramarital testimony. Despite technological advancements and new laws aimed at preventing such tragedies, experts highlight that the number of children dying in hot cars continues to rise, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and preventive measures.
