With more than 1,000 endorsements from corporations and .civic, health and safety organizations, officers will step up enforcement of child passenger safety laws and adult belt laws throughout the Thanksgiving Holiday week. The Thanksgiving Mobilization comes on the heels of the extremely successful Operation ABC Mobilization last May, which, through the leadership of enforcement agencies nationABC Mobilization, wide, prompted six million more people to wear their seat belts, saving hundreds of lives, including scores of children. Since the Mobilization began in 1996, child fatalities in crashes have decreased by 12.3 percent according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). In the same period, child restraint use among toddlers increased 30 percent so that almost 90 percent of toddlers are now restrained. And seat belt use for children between ages 5 and 15 has risen to almost 70 percent. Overall, nineteen million more Americans buckled up in 1998 alone. If these millions of people continue to use seat belts and safety seats, an estimated 1,500 lives will be saved each year thanks to the efforts of law enforcement and dedicated child safety advocates. Many people have felt the frustration and outrage at seeing an unbuckled child and felt powerless to help," said Dr. Louis R.
