A 2 Year Old Dies After Making THIS Common Mistake... Now His Mother Has A Warning To All.
By Michele
Toppling furniture has injured tens of thousands of children and killed scores in recent years, according to data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, yet many parents are unaware of the danger posed by even small pieces of furniture.
The family of Charlie Horn did not find out how important the strap was until was too late. Charlie’s mother attached a tall armoire to the wall in her house, but did not know that the dresser was a hazard until it fell over on her son.
The person taking care of Charlie at the time thought the young child was sleeping, and didn’t hear any loud noise even when the dresser toppled onto him after he apparently climbed on it. “They call it a silent death,” Horn said. Children “are a cushion for the fall of the dresser so you don’t necessarily hear a sound.”
Charlie’s parents do not want any other parent to go through what they have gone through. That is why they decided to start the Charlie Horn Foundation. This is an organization that is committed to educating people about the dangers of common household items. They created a video that shows people how to anchor the furniture in their home.
