From Jan. 1 to Oct. 21, 2002, there have been 349 backing-up incidents involving children, with 469 victims and 104 deaths. Over the past decade, 31.1 percent of auto deaths of children resulted from a car being backed over a child, said Janette Fennell, co-founder of the organization.

Specifically, at least 53 children have died and 28 have been seriously injured so far this year by a car running over them. In contrast, 41 children died that way last year. In half of those cases, the driver was a parent or other relative and in 70 percent of those cases, the vehicle was an SUV.
