When a core body temperature reaches 107 degrees Fahrenheit or greater, the body’s cells are damaged and internal organs begin to shut down, rapidly leading to death. For children, their thermoregulatory systems are not as efficient as an adult’s and their body temperatures warm at a rate three to five times faster. This can happen quickly to a baby left in a car on a hot (or even mildly warm) day. When the temperature is 100 degrees out the temperature inside a closed car can reach 130 in just five minutes.
