I hate this story.

No electronics in the bath. Period.

Electrocution has got to hurt like nothing else. Such a pretty young lady not understanding the danger. My brother was severely shocked in the 60’s from his train set xfrmr.

Please teach the young about electricity and how we harness that. It is very dangerous. I am curious about the GFI in place but it doesn’t matter for this young girl now.

I have a theory that, since we live in such a ‘safe’ world - kids bike helmets, ladders festooned with warnings, etc, that some kids can’t figure out what is REALLY dangerous...like 120v in the tub. Its kind of like ‘security theater’, but instead is ‘safety theater’, where minor safety issues and even safety myths (ie cell phones at gas pump) are given the same gravity as genuine dangers.
