When I was young, my cousin's and I were playing in my uncle's new car one day. It was one of those "first" cars with a backseat that pulled down to the trunk and we were pulling it down and crawling into the trunk and back. My father caught us in there and we were in so much trouble!! After that, I was taught the lesson good and strong and well and longlasting, NEVER, ever, play in or around cars. They are not toys for child.
This story is tragic. Please, all of you with children, teach them this lesson if you have not already.
This story bothers me too. I couldn't figure out how they could have gotten into the trunk. I was thinking they need a key. Then I remembered my car you can open the trunk by a button in the glove compartment, which I keep locked.

I keep thinking someone should have heard them yelling, if nothing else. That's why I thought someone took them and put them in it later.

With the rate of child abductions, I would have checked every car trunk in the town! Same thing with any old refrigerators. Kansas now has a law that any old refrigerator outside has to have the door removed because of several children dying by getting into them and the door shutting them in. Maybe cars should have an emergency trunk release inside them!

So sad!!!
