Some Child Safety Q&A |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
When bathing a child how do you know when the bath water is deep enough?
Use the "rule of navel." When the water level reaches the child's belly button while they're in a seated position, the water is deep enough. Any deeper would increase the drowning risk of the child |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Did you know hot coffee or tea can easily scald a small child if accidentally spilled on them?
When around children add an ice cube to hot drinks; thus lowering the temperature of the liquid below the scalding level. Now, if you accidentally spill there won't be any need to go to a pediatric burn center. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Does your community have a bike helmet law?
It should -- a child's brain is a terrible thing to waste. Don't risk brain injury -- adults should set the proper example by wearing helmets, too. Learn more from the Bike Helmet Safety Institute. |

I am a disability retired firefighter/paramedic and father of three living and working in northern Virginia, U.S.A. I hold a degree in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and was once a licensed daycare provider. I was in the life saving business from 1981 to 2005. Over-the-years, I had seen many child injuries and illnesses that could have been prevented. That is why I' made this home page -- to increase awareness about what can be done to prevent injury and illness to children all around the world. |

I've had the opportunity to work with several child safety mascots. Vince and Larry, the CRASH DUMMIES, help teach car and car seat safety. One of the kids' favorites, though is Eddie the Eagle |

I've fielded many questions about child safety on my e-mail, but I've also had several inquiries about how to become an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic or Paramedic. So here's my EMS Training Page. |

*I am transgender . I include this information to disprove the common misconception that trannies are also child molesters. There couldn't be anything more further from the truth. |

I am just the opposite--having been a child safety advocate since 1995. I also have been a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration/American Automobile Association certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. :O) |
