The death rate increases to more than 55 percent for children ages 5 through 9 and jumps to more than 67 percent for children ages 10 through 15. Latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that more than 50 percent of all infants and toddlers (birth through age four) who were killed in vehicles were unrestrained, according to Judge McGann, who also is Chairperson of the Circuit Court of Cook County Community Safety Initiative. 'Quite simply, if the Have a Heart program helps us to get more car seats in use, more lives will be saved,' Chief Judge O'Connell added. 'The court remains committed to implementing interdisciplinary partnerships to improve traffic safety,' said Chief Judge O'Connell. The Circuit Court's Have a Heart program is operated in partnership with the Cook County Hospital Car Seat Program. Effective February 13, 2001, through March 31, 2001, judges will offer those traffic violators the choice to either pay the maximum $40 fine or have the fine forgiven by participating in the Have a Heart program in which they view a 20-minute video on proper restraint of children in vehicles and then purchase a child safety car seat at a discounted price. McGann today announced the Circuit Court of Cook County will implement the Have a Heart program in which traffic violators found guilty of not properly restraining their infants or toddlers will be given the option to purchase a new child safety car seat at a reduced cost.
