   You wouldn't happen to know the specifics of that case, would you?
I wonder if the children were in the truck while it was idling? I
should think that a truck moving at any speed over a crawl would have
sufficient airflow to blow the fumes away... Its definitely something to
think about though! (Especially if you've got a cap.)

   Also, speaking of putting humans in the bed of a truck (as the above
parents did), this is illegal in New York state, and probably some
others too, I would suspect. (Lack of proper restraint systems, I think
is the rationale there.)
