Read for a wake-up call

I was just visiting an old roommate's blog and saw that she's very concerned for a friend of hers. She put up a pic of their poor little toddler who is in the hospital, unconscious, with tubes running in and out of him. I'm not sure what prompted me to read the story on her friend's blog, but I did, and I'm glad. It was a reminder that although I do believe babies and kids have guardian angels to keep them safe from the scores of things that can hurt them, we have to do our part as parents, too--and I'm not always as diligent as I should be about that.

The moral of the story is to

never, ever, ever leave your baby alone in a bathtub,

watch them carefully, etc. Otherwise you might have his brother screaming that he drowned, a toddler who won't revive, detectives trying to question you about criminal activity against your own beloved child while you're dying an emotional death at the hospital, and anguish for countless people. I don't blame this poor mother in the slightest for the accident; we all make mistakes. I just wanted to share this; I don't think the mother will mind. Maybe we could all say a little prayer for little Bronson.
