The following article made the statement "....and yet every unintentional injury is preventable...."
Most kids are adventurous and curious.. And actually, we might even need to watch them 24/7.. But is that possible??? Still, I encourage everyone who cares for our children to check this out.. Might even contain a hint that you didn't even think about to make Your Family Safe.
Here is the Intro Paragraph:
____________________________
"As parents, caregivers, and educators, we all work so hard to keep children safe every day. Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14, and yet every unintentional injury is preventable. We cannot be with our children every step of the way, but we can create safe environments for them, and educate ourselves on how to keep them safe even when we are not around. Here at Safe Kids it is our job to create more awareness around injury prevention in order to prevent further injuries and deaths."

Finally, on may ask, "Why do I even bring this up?
Here is just one of my late wife's Gloria and my story in our journey through life. As Foster Care Givers, we were caring for a very active 3 year old. One day, in her bedroom she climbed on top of her dresser and fell. She hit her eye lid on the way down. At that time, my daughter, a nurse, checked her out. We also watched the little 3 year old for possible signs of concussion symptoms. No symptoms were apparent.
Then one day, out of the blue, we were presented with a document from our agency of a "Child Abuse" allegation due to the slightly bruised eye of the 3 year old... And also 12 other charges of possible abuse and/or policy violations. We did go to an Administrative hearing and were relieved of all abuse allegations and most of the policy violations.
So like I stated in the beginning accidents will happen.. But one must confirm the accident with a Trusted Doctor or Medical Aide. Even though, those close to you know it was an accident.
Oh, did I mention, due to a past study, Veterinarians are now Mandated Reporters in most states.
