Fw: SINGLE DAD OBSERVES

I recently saw this article in a Jamaican publication recently, I have also observed that this kind of incident occurs quite often in various countries,especially the developing ones. Now I am not saying carelessness was involved...but there are somethings you can do to avoid these tragedies from occurring so often.To our kids Take some time to check your home, neighborhood ,your living space for disasters waiting to happen.Check your water storage containers to see if a child can easily access them, and eliminate that access.Don't rely on just warning your kids to avoid playing around it....kids are kids their attention span and sense of danger aren't as acute as adults.I have seen situations where babies drown in buckets of water.        Make sure your baby is not left unattended for any period of time.wow.... some people,unthinkingly , knowingly or just plain stupidly (most of the time) will leave a toddler by itself and go to the store for up to 15 minutes...what are they thinking? A baby can get into serious trouble in a second.       Don't leave a baby to look after another baby....dang!!! I get so mad just thinking of this....how can a so call sensible person leave a kid of...nine years to look after another younger kid .?Worse if that younger kid is a baby just getting into walking around.I don't know i am completely lost on that on,if you know the answer, please enlighten me.
