Reminder: Never leave children inside vehicles

As temperatures rise, Kentucky State Police are reminding people not to leave children inside vehicles. Sgt. Josh Lawson says on a 75-degree day, an infant could die of hyperthermia in only 15 minutes, depending on the circumstances. Lawson says curiosity can also be a problem when a child playing outside ends up in a car and becomes overcome with heat in a short time. Lawson says people should never leave a child in an unattended car, even with the windows down. Also, make sure everyone is out of the car when unloading. Always lock the car, and if a child is missing, check the car and trunk first. Use a stuffed animal placed in the front seat or a purse or briefcase in the back as a reminder that a child is inside.

The alleged incidents that led to the charges occurred in October 2017. Further charges may be pending. Grayson County School Superintendent Doug Robinson released the following statement Tuesday morning: "A student tip to a School Resource Officer alleging inappropriate student contact has led to the arrest of Grayson County Middle School teacher, John Cariel. The alleged contact took place through technology in the fall of 2017 and off school premises. Teachers are placed in a position of supreme trust. Students and their families should always have confidence in that. We realize that trust within our own system has now been broken due to the actions of a few. "Grayson County Schools will not tolerate even a suggestion of improper behavior or contact between teachers and students. Any allegations will be handed over immediately to law enforcement for investigation. If verified, they will lead to arrest, prosecution and termination from both the district and the Education professional Standards Board to ensure these individuals can never again work with children."
