[blparent] babies drounding, sad artical

[Veronica Smith]

It reminds me of a cousin of mine, her kiddos (4 and 5) were taking a bath
and who knows where she was but all of a sudden she heard a sound like water
and when she came to see, the hallway was flooded.  Now you and I know that
takes time for a tub to overflow, much less run into the hallway.  She says
she was near by, but honestly, I have my doubts.  Those kids could of drown.

Hi,

No Lea, the reason babies drown in very little water is because their
parents aren't paying enough attention to them.  This article prooves that
very well.  What's a child doing even around the washing machine, never mind
being allowed to climb it even when the lid is closed.  What a sad story!

Hey, I was on facebook and my cousin had posted this and I read it and had
in mind the emails that have gone around lately about little ones drounding
and how it could be possible

This is a scary thing to think about happening to your child.
The story for those who might not want to or cant click on the link, is
about how a 21 month old child climbed up on the washer and fell in while it
was operating and dround. The mother for whatever reason had left the lid
up. It sounds as if she does this all the time and rarely shuts it but I
have always thought that the lid should be closed while useing your washer.
A part in it that made me want to post it says that the reason why a lot of
children are able to dround in small amounts of water is because they are
top heavy and do not have enough upper body strength to lift themselves back
up if they end up face down in water. I think this would apply more to
babies who are still learning to craul.


There is a vidio that gives you more information then the artical
