>>Someone wasn't watching these children.<<

Stupid mistakes happen. These kids were 3 & 2. Mom may have gone to the bathroom. We have to do that sometimes. Someone stupidly left a steak knife around. It may have been as innocent as it was dropped while the dinner dishes were being cleared and the person who was bringing them from the table thought he/she got everything dropped.

Tragic things happen all the time. It is not always neglect.

God Bless this family.

Stupid mistakes happen

Yep, just this morning, I was unloading the dishwasher and my one year old was "helping" me.

In about 2 seconds, he pushed the bottom rack out of the way and grabbed a steak knife. I'm sure just another second and he would have try to stick in his mouth. I carefully reached over and got it from him, not to startle him. It happens that quickly!

With a dog door and an in-ground swimming pool, we also have a KatchaKid on our pool so our baby doesn't try to go swimming.

YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH YOUR KIDS!!!

When our first born arrived, my wife's mother sat us down and after offering us any help we might need caring for the baby (she raised 4). This is what she told us. She said that the single most important thing you have to learn is under no circumstances should a child who is not sleeping EVER be let out of your sight.
