September is Baby Safety Month. Most people look at baby safety month as a month of awareness with baby products. I do agree with that, but I also agree that it is baby safety month with the care of our babies. Now and days, many baby products are either being recalled or has cause death to many babies. The government has even made it harder for products to get into the market now.....each item of the baby product must be tested and certifield by the government. I think this is Awesome.....I sure wouldn't want to purchase a product that maybe harmful or cause death.
My concern is not only with the care of the products but the care of our babies. As part of Baby Safety Month, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning parents and caregivers about in-home drowning hazards. "Summer is over and many pools are now closed, but drowning dangers never end," said CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton. "Parents of young children need to know there are other drowning hazards in and around the home."
Many children drown in bathtubs than in any other product in the home. CPSC reported 72 children under 5 who drowned in bathtubs, and more than half were under 1 year old. Most cases involved a child left unattended in the tub with water still running.
It has been noted that 13 children under 5 who died in spas or hot tubs in 2001, 11 deaths involving 5-gallon buckets, seven involving other- sized buckets, five deaths in wading pools, four deaths in landscape ponds and one death in a plastic basin.
Research as also shown a rise in child abuse......This is quite disturbing to me, we all know children didn't ask to be born. I say to everyone step up and start looking out for your children and other kids. Voice your opinion when you see child abuse ....you never know, you just may be saving a life!!!!
Let's Save Our Children, For They Are Our Children Of The Future!!!
