results of the struggle. >> reporter: we checked with him him, he has not been detained. maduro thumbing his nose in particular at the trump administration which slapped sanctions on him said. he said those would do nothing to stop him. new legislation is aimed at preventing more tragic deaths of children who are left in hot cars. last month 11 kids died in hot vehicles nationwide. the deadliest month for children in five years. kris van cleave has more on the efforts to use technology to help save lives. >> the newly proposed law would require cars to be skipped with sensors alerting drivers once the car is turned off the child is in the back seat. some argue the technology might not find its way to the parents who need it the most. advocates say the law is needed because the stakes are just too high. >> i have not forgiven myself. >> miles and carol harrison always wanted a child. they were overjoyed when they adopted chase, but on a busy 90 degree day back in 2008, miles

forgot to dro off at day care leaving him in the back seat of his car when he want to work. >> it is heartbreaking. because i did it. i killed my son. >> knob thinobody thinks it wil until it happens. >> his death was 700 since 1998. an average of 37 per year. the first seven months of this year have been the worst in terms of heat related child car deaths since 2010. these tragedies can happen quickly. when it is a round 90 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car will rise above 130 in less than an hour. >> all cars, ought to include sensors that can, very simply, save lives. >> aiming to prevent tragedies, the senator introduced legislation requiring car makers to install sensor technology alerting drivers to a baby left in a car seat. >> consumers, should want this

product as they do. seatbelts and >> general motors began offering a similar sensor for some models this year. but the alliance of automobile manufacturers, says the proposed mandate would miss the car buyers who need it most. because so few parents of young children buy new cars. the harrisons hope the law goes through. >> we need to stop families having to dealing with what i have done to our family. this law can do that. >> senator blumenthal believes any added cost for standard feature would be minimal. the measure should attract strong bipartisan support and hopes to see it in new cars soon as 2019.
