Prayers
Prayers for the child and her family!
And the darned things don’t turn themselves off. Can’t leave little ones alone for a second.
There is a cord on the treadmill that you are supposed to attached to your pants so that if you lose your balance and fall, it automatically turns off the motor. This is probably the cord she got tangled in.
How old is she?
From the first sentence of the article:
“PHOENIX - The 4-year-old daughter of legendary boxer Mike Tyson is in critical condition after a family member found her hanging from a cord. “
Mind you, I’m a fan of Tyson but I saw a documentary about him and he’s at or beyond a Gary Busey level of crazyiness.
Poor baby. Prayers for her recovery.
How tragic.
And the cord is a very bright color. Either red or yellow.
It’s not short either.
Poor baby.
In the winter, a teenaged child was getting off the school bus. His big, down-filled coat had cords that tied off the hood, sleeves and bottom of the coat for maximum warmth. The cords had a knot tied at the end of each one so they would not get sucked up into the coat and lost. The bus door closed on the one single knot of the hood of this down coat, and the child was dragged to death. It was horrible. It may be convenient to have those knots that prevent the cords from being sucked in and unreachable without bailing wire and rubber bands, but it is worth it. If you can’t untie them, cut them off.
gary busey had a pretty traumatic head injury, i wonder what mikes excuse is?
I just heard about this from the TV news a minute ago.
I did not even know that Mike Tyson had a 4 yr old daughter.
He(Tyson) was out of town.
i know. i don't want to take anything away from the pain the family must be feeling, heck, i can't let my niece or nephews out of my sight for 5 seconds before they start getting into trouble.
i was referring to mikes overall mental state though.
How awful. Recovery from the death of a child never goes away. It never makes any sense.
You can be right there in reach and someone will know them over and they can get hurt. I know. Never take your eyes off the little ones.
Is this the child of Mike Tyson’s ex-wife Monica who is the sister of RNC chairman Michael Steele?
Series!?!?
Monica Turner is the sister of Michael Steele.
She also has MS.
