The Case Of The Very Hot Car
Author: Rick FontesPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105757927
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Rick Moreno styled himself as a skip tracer. He worked out of Houston Texas during the turbulent years of the cold war and although his job description would seem to limit his activities to chasing after bail jumpers, dead beat dads and such, his talents led him far afield into a world of political intrigue, international espionage and global politics. Ripped from the pages of history, The Case Of The Very Hot Car is presented here as recorded in Rick Moreno's Case Books, those personal diaries in which he outlined the details of his professional activities. His set of logbooks provide a glimpse into an often secret, always shadowy world inhabited by people in our government who feel it is their right to bend the rules as long as the desired outcome fits in with their idea of what is good for the rest of us. Rick Moreno is paid to ask questions but are the answers worth dying for?
Backseat Tragedies : Hot Car Deaths

ISBN: 1500504831
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
When we hear about these cases of children forgotten in their car seats, left alone in the hot sun to die, our first reaction is to instinctively blame the parent or caregiver. We think, how could anyone forget about their own child for a moment, let alone hours? But the awful reality is that these tragedies happen to people from all walks of life. Many of the parents detailed in this book never thought such a thing could ever happen to them. They were wrong. On average, thirty-seven U.S. children die each year after becoming trapped or forgotten in a hot vehicle. Between the years 1998 and 2014, 636 children perished inside a hot car in the United States. The numbers are staggering. The stories are heartbreaking. But what can we do about it? In Backseat Tragedies: Hot Car Deaths, bestselling true crime authors RJ Parker and JJ Slate explore the circumstances that led to the deaths of over twenty children who died of hyperthermia, or heatstroke, in a car. They explore the science of how quickly a car can heat to deadly temperatures and why the human brain can so easily be tricked into forgetting something as important as a child. They also highlight important steps we can take as a community to prevent future casualties. Spreading awareness about the reality of hot car deaths is the first step toward eliminating these tragedies. ●●WITH PHOTOS●●

Book Description
I was almost as hard headed as it gets while repeatedly insisting on missing and ignoring the entire point that Mom and a few others tried to get me to realize. "GET YOUR EDUCATION!!!" I still had some great times here and there every now and then, and I can only imagine how beautiful-my-life-would-have-been if I would have followed the "The Golden Rules." Some wonderful things have happened to me even though I still feel that I truly did not deserve or even know how to sincerely enjoy thoroughly, but on the other hand, some not so wonderful things have happened to me that I basically brought on myself as a direct result of not following "The Golden Rules." EDUCATION IS A MUST!!! I know my family was not the only family that has gone through a divorce, and I know there are millions of kids who went through divorce without a scratch. I am not blaming any of my failures as a man on the pitfalls of divorce, but I can clearly see now that my "character flaws" were a direct hit stemming from the casualties of my parents divorce. I did not ask to be me, and I certainly did not ask or expect to be stuck on stupid for almost three tenths of a century. It was what it was! If I would have known their divorce would eventually effect me which I believe set the wheels in motion that turned towards me turning out the way I have, I would have started Praying that night. But I had no idea it would, and neither did they. I can only imagine how beautiful my life would have been if their marriage was meant to be, but it was not about me. Brooke!
