I'd like to venture a thought here... how's about parents quit being irresponsible and do their job right, and then kids won't ingest poison/drown in pools/start fires/etc....

It's fucking ridiculous how people justify blaming someone else for how THEY do something, rather than identifying a possible risk and eliminating it.

That'd be like complaining that cars can hit kids, because kids are slower than cars, so cars should travel slower than kids to keep them safe.

Fuck that.

There's a reason why EVERY ONE OF THESE stories starts out with the word "unattended"... sure you can leave them for a minute, but not in a place that isn't safe for them to be alone.

An UNATTENDED child can drown in 1 inch of water. A proper parent does NOT leave a child alone in a tub, so children should NEVER die in a tub.

Fuck that, don't bitch at me that products are "too closely resembling somethign for a kid". YOU had the kid- quit trying to skimp on your responsibilities.

Do your job, or give them to someone who WILL love them.
