Isn’t it against the law most places to leave old freezers around without the doors removed or locked with a hasp and lock?

That’s awful. A hasp had been placed on the unplugged and apparently discarded chest freezer which wouldn’t allow for it to be opened from the inside. The kids were found within 30 minutes but had already suffocated.

Yes, and if there is no law it should be common sense.

Yes, there are laws. Just like gun laws, this law cant take into account for mistakes and someone not following them.

Horrible but I have questions.
How did they all get in there (especially the one year old) and then shut the lid. They are unbelievably heavy.
And you leave a one year old outside? I would have taken the little one with me.
This still doesn't make a lot of sense.
To: PeterPrinciple
Yes, but have to actually read the story...

She left children ages one, four and six outside while she went to the bathroom.

The sheriffs office said foul play is not suspected, and an inspection of the chest freezer, which is about three-feet tall, showed that a hasp used for a padlock had closed trapping the children inside, according to the Facebook post. The sheriffs office said the family had not placed a padlock on the freezer.

A whole spate of these tragedies happened in the 1950s, causing all the manufacturers to design their freezers so kids couldn’t lock themselves in. Horrible.

Me too. I had one that I had to take into the bathroom with me when we were home-——a real imp.

I'm having a difficult time believing this story. Found within 30 minutes?
To: Responsibility2nd
When the cover slammed,leaving them in the dark,the poor kids probably all went hysterical,using more oxygen.

Who still owns a freezer with a latching handle? Weren’t those outlawed in the 60s?

Sounds like the one momma spoke of...."I hope you have one just like you".
I used a playpen for my kids. Some folks scoffed at that...but I was working at home and didn't have ten sets of eyes.
To: Responsibility2nd
I am, too. Call 9-11 first...if they don’t answer...then hunt.
To: BenLurkin
A tragedy. Someone should have seen the freezer and realized that it was a dangerous hazard, and chopped it to pieces or locked it securely so that no one could go into it.
I remember the epidemic of deaths in the 50’s when people discarded their old fridges or iceboxes for new ones.
