It can happen so easily.

My daughter was about 4 years old and playing with the venetian blind cord while I was making the bed.

I turned around and she had fallen, the cord holding her by the neck. Thank God I was right there and grabbed her, but I could easily have been in another room, as this poor mom was.

My heart goes out to the Tyson family. This is devastating beyond words.

Thanks for your response.

If I had tied that cord, or it didn’t unwind and give me that terrible burn, I would have been dead by the time Dad got in the front door. And I wasn’t four, I was about 12.

There should be a better way.
