Auto Defect: Good Morning America, "One Wrong Move: Car Window Switches Can Be Deadly for Children"
           In the last year, power windows have killed at least seven more children, including a 3-year-old Dallas girl on June 6 and a 4-year-old Wisconsin boy on June 2. The list goes on, and the details of each case are tragically similar.
          Since 1990, power windows have killed at least 36 children, according to Kids and Cars, a nonprofit group that tracks auto-safety issues involving children. A 1997 government study by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis estimated power windows sent nearly 500 people to emergency rooms in one year, and that half the victims were small children.
          Power windows are no longer a luxury option. They are equipped in 80 percent of all cars sold today. But certain power window designs have safety experts concerned they could pose a life-threatening hazard for children. Car makers say children should never be left alone in any vehicle, and certainly not one with the keys in the ignition.
