Wow! This scared me! I was reading this thread when I heard a loud crash from the kitchen. Turned around and found out a faulty large middle drawer had fallen onto my six year old. He hadn't touched it. Thankfully, he only has a scrape on his leg.
Seriously, thank the Lord that your child is OK.
Your six yr old should have been holding your hand or in a cart. Certainly never out of your reach.
sarc meter off.
Seriously they sell devices to stop drawers from sliding all the way out. Maybe your cabinets could be retrofitted. Sadly almost every safety device on the narket is the result of someone elses' bad experience (or as the freeper righteous parenting squad would call it, bad parenting).
