truechildsafety.com Posted on May 27, 2015 by adminMay 27, 2015

Falls and falling objects are one of the most prominent dangers for young children. Yet many parents do not seem to realize exactly how little it can take to kill a child. One often overlooked danger is the toy chest. Ones that aren’t built for safety can kill a child if the lid falls down onto them. That’s exactly what happened to a three-year-old Chandler, Arizona girl. On December 1st, 2009, Chandler firefighters were summoned to a house in the … Continue reading →

Exterminators Pesticide Use Causes Deaths Of Two Young Girls

truechildsafety.com Posted on April 9, 2010 by adminMay 29, 2015

April 8, 2010 When you call an exterminator, you expect them to help you get rid of pests. You don’t expect that your children will be exterminated in the process. That is precisely what happened to 15-month-old Rachel Toone and her 4-year-old sister, Rebecca. The two siblings died three days apart after battling for their life in the intensive care unit of a hospital. Both were poisoned after breathing in high levels of phosphorus at their home in February. They … Continue reading →

Children Crushed In Apartment Stairwell Collapse

truechildsafety.com Posted on July 19, 2008 by adminMay 29, 2015

July 17, 2008 In America, you don’t expect buildings to collapse without warning or provocation. This is why residents of a Houston apartment complex were shocked when a stairwell did just that, crushing several boys inside. It all started with an innocent game of hide and seek. Ten-year-old David Vasquez, 5-year-old Miguel Robledo, and a 9-year-old friend who was not identified, were playing the game in the stairwell of their apartment complex at about 7:40 p.m. That’s when disaster struck. … Continue reading →

Butter Knife Imbedded into Boys Head

truechildsafety.com Posted on April 15, 2008 by adminMay 25, 2015

4-13-08 Safety specialists are known for saying: “If there is a way for kids to injure themselves with it, they’ll find that way.” We can now add ‘butter knives’ to the growing list of thought-to-be-safe items, after a Vancouver, Washington boy managed to get one imbedded into his head. Of course, they were doing something they shouldn’t at the time-playing with knives. But hey, they were butter knives, they figured. What could possibly go wrong? They were tossing them around, … Continue reading →

Chlorine Fumes Send Kids to Hospital

truechildsafety.com Posted on March 2, 2008 by adminMay 27, 2015

2-29-08 Teachers at Lincoln Elementary School were trying to do the right thing with their kids … but they picked the wrong pool to do it in. Their kindergartners were learning about, of all things, water safety at a local nursing home pool. They ended up getting a hands on lesson of a different kind. After about 30 minutes in the water, the kids started to have difficulties breathing, according to Mary Ellen Marnholtz, spokeswoman for the Wausau School District … Continue reading →

Boy Gets Stuck In Washer

truechildsafety.com Posted on February 4, 2008 by adminMay 26, 2015

2-3-08 We tell kids to stay out of small places for good reason. Most of the time, the stories we follow of children climbing into dishwashers or fridges end with funeral arrangements. But there’s another reason not to climb into such things: you can get stuck. A 4-year-old Ohio boy found that out the hard way over the weekend, after climbing into his family’s top-loading washing machine. Little Donovon Hasseman found himself wedged up against the agitator (dutifully named) with … Continue reading →

12-20-07 A freak accident just a few days before Christmas left a 3-year-old dead and emergency personnel trying to piece together exactly what happened. The boy likely died from bleeding in the brain caused from an acute blow to the head. The preschooler was running around the room in his Mesa, Arizona home, when he tripped and fell forward, hitting his head on a coffee table.  His mother tended to his injury, and afterwards he seemed to be OK.  She … Continue reading →

truechildsafety.com Posted on November 24, 2007 by adminMay 20, 2015

11-22-07 A 14-month-old boy crawled out a third-floor apartment window, falling three stories onto a store roof below. The boy was apparently left unattended or wandered off while the family was engaged in their Thanksgiving festivities. His relatives said that they thought the window he fell out of was closed. But not only did little Brandon Priebe survive the fall, he didn’t even break a bone. The boy fell about twenty feet onto the roof of a neighboring music store, … Continue reading →
