Explanation
Leaving a young child alone in a car is extremely dangerous and can result in severe harm or even death. California law prohibits leaving a child six years of age or younger unattended in a vehicle, except when supervised by a person 12 years or older. This requirement ensures that a responsible individual is present to handle emergencies or any situations that may arise.
