A vehicle includes a body controller having a plurality of sensors that detect a state of a driver door and a rear passenger door and detect an ignition state of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a processor that activates an alert flag in response to receiving a first signal from the body controller indicating an ignition of the vehicle has been started and receiving a second signal from the body controller indicating the rear passenger door of the vehicle has been closed within an activation threshold time. The processor determines that the vehicle has made a temporary stop and maintains the activated alert flag upon detecting that the vehicle has been started in response to determining that the vehicle has made the temporary stop. The processor generates a notification in response to detecting that the vehicle has been parked a second time. The notification may include a camera feed.
