Kids get trapped under and killed by falling dressers on a regular basis - and it only takes a few seconds. Dressers and file cabinets should always be bolted to the wall.

It’s odd that the little boy didn’t run to get his mother. Maybe he thought he’d get in trouble. But for a 2 yr old he did a great job trying to figure out how to rescue his brother. Just glad it had a happy ending,

I must be a "hover parent": I have never left my children unattended. Never. I remember a lady here in Virginia who left her kids upstairs on their own and they both filled the tub and then drowned.

So these hard of hearing parents never heard of installing a wall anchor to the dresser(s)to keep them from falling over?
