Here’s a new threat for perspective parents to worry about: Zika, a mosquito born virus, has been linked to wide spread birth defects, and in particular causes children to be born with smaller-than-usual brains. In 2015 the virus spread through Brazil, affecting as many as 1.3 million people. This has caused several South American governments to take the unusual step of telling women to avoid pregnancy altogether.

A Decision No Parent Wants to Make

truechildsafety.com Posted on November 5, 2015 by adminNovember 5, 2015

Go the hospital, or go to Heaven? That was the decision a family in Oregon allowed their terminally ill 4-year-old daughter to make. The girl chose Heaven. Juliana Snow, who is now five, suffers from a rare neurodegenerative disease called Charcot-marie-tooth disease. It has caused her to become so weak that even a minor cold could turn into phnemonia. If she gets sick again, it’s unlikely that Doctors can save her life, and if they manage to do so, she … Continue reading →

In Littleton, Colorado, a teenage boy died after accidentally eating something with peanuts. Sixteen-year-old Simon Katz was attending a home-coming week bonfire at Chatfield High School, and apparently consumed a treat containing peanuts.  He later died at an area hospital.

The Kiss of Deaf

truechildsafety.com Posted on July 1, 2008 by adminMay 26, 2015

June 2008 It was a simple kiss. Not the type of thing one would guess to be a hurtful thing. It certainly wasn’t something Gail Schwartzman’s 4-year-old daughter expected to hurt her mother when she gave it. Mom had been out of the house that day, and the little girl missed her. “When I returned, I went to say a big hello to my daughter. She was 4-years-old at the time. She was sitting on the floor watching TV, and … Continue reading →
