When you start a family, it’s natural to start taking safety more seriously. You put childproof locks on the cabinets, put covers on the electrical outlets, and secure all heavy furniture to the wall. But what about your front door?
Recently, a Sterling, Virginia woman was watching her great-grandson and put him down for a nap. Except, instead of sleeping, the toddler decided that he wanted to take a walk. He walked right out of the house and proceeded to wander around for over two hours, until a concerned citizen found him and took him to the sheriff’s department. Luckily, the boy was uninjured, but it’s stories like this that strike fear into every parent’s heart.
That’s why it’s important to make sure that small children can’t wander out of the house when your back is turned.
