Terry Williams, just can’t understand how he continues to see stories in the news of parents leaving their children in locked cars. The Raleigh, NC resident decided to lock himself up in a hot car and make a youtube video to show how dangerous high temperatures in a car can be.

“I’m sitting in the car with the windows rolled up cause I want to know how it feels to be left in the car,” explains Williams. “As you can see, I’m sweating, like I can barely breathe out here, but my system is stronger than these little kids systems.”
