R’ Avigdor Miller ztz”l was a very strong advocate for safety, and especially the safety of our children. He said when grandparents have their grandchildren over to their house, before they hug them and kiss them, their first obligation is to make sure that there is nothing in their home which could present a sakanah.
Unfortunately, too many people are lax in the supervision of their children. What they don’t realize is that tragic incidents/accidents do happen c”v if we are not vigilant…
I have seen mothers walking with baby carriages, beginning to cross AGAINST THE LIGHT with the carriage sticking out ahead of them. It is so scary because cars are always zooming through intersections, trying to make the light!
We should all be more vigilant in watching over our precious children that Hashem has so graciously granted to us.
