The 12 Biggest, Preventable Mistakes Parents Make About Their Child's Safety.
- Allowing children to run in parking lots or any place where there are moving cars.
- Not taking the time to teach your children to swim. All areas that can contain water more than 1" of water either need to be turned upside down or monitored continually.
- Allowing children access to poisonous substances without some type of monitoring device. Access to chemicals, medications and other harmful liquids that are hazardous to a child need to be locked and placed above their ability to reach them.
- Fire threat in the home. The absence of a home alarm / security system or disconnected system that was installed in the past but is not monitored.
- Usually in both cases, smoke detectors are often neglected, checked or allowed to go untested.
- Often the batteries are also allowed to run out before replacement.
- Construction codes now require smoke detectors in every sleeping room.
- No Carbon Monoxide Detector in the home. This is usually overlooked or action is not taken when threat is identified. If you burn combustible fuel, it emits carbon monoxide. High levels can kill you.
- No instruction of fire extinguishers, their locations and proper use.
- Allowing children to play with toys, toys that have been recalled or items that are not appropriate for their age.
- Allowing children to ride farm machinery or operate equipment that has a gas powered engine.
- Lack of seatbelt use, improper seatbelt use, improper child restraining seats or ignoring motor vehicle warnings altogether.
- Guns stored without locks. Every year hundreds of children are accidentally killed when they have unmonitored access to weapons. Secure your guns and monitor access to them.
- Unmonitored care by relatives, strangers and older adults. Child abuse, child molestation and child neglect are usually perpetrated by individuals that knew the victim.
- Lack of training of threat of child abduction. 80% of all children are abducted within 1/4 of a mile from where they live. 2,100 times per day, parents or primary care givers felt the disappearance of the child they are in supervision of, was serious enough to call law enforcement.
- Not posting emergency numbers and having them available for children. When an emergency is happening, that is not the time to try to find a number! If you are living in a major metropolitan area, you could be on hold waiting for a 911 emergency operator! Keep the local numbers to emergency hospitals, your physician, the poison hotline and other numbers that you may need for your area.
SECURITY DEVICES
For many years inexpensive devices have been available for installation on security systems.
Those devices can illuminate the higher percentages of children who become addicted to alcohol, medical prescriptions, lethal inhalants or access to gun cabinets by informing parents and owners of access as it happens or when they are opened.
Monitoring those areas with notification keeps you informed of the access and allows you the ability to defend your family from those dangers and years of heartbreak caused because of unmonitored substance access.
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years due to the dust that will collect on the device over the years. Electronic devices will last longer, however, the probability of failure increases dramatically at the 10 year anniversary of the installation date.
