That mothers cry of his name when she saw him was so painful I could feel her heart drop and I just know that mom saw her life flash before her eyes when she saw her child like that I'm so glad he survived and I bet she is too

We're talking about toddlers... They can very easily be playing with them and all of a sudden the next thing you know the toddler is being strangled by the cord. This video is about promoting awareness. Good on ABC
I totally agree on what your saying, and me loosing my baby in such a tragic way, is not my fault, when some are saying that it is, I know for a fact that parents are unable to watch over their children for 24 7 we need to do laundry make lunch and it only takes one second for tragedy to strike and I have every safety mechanism in the world. children will be children and you can't blame a mother who has just lost their baby.
+Shgu I totally sympathize with any mother that has lost a child, but precautions have to be made for the safety of the children. I work in public school in Pre-K and I cannot allow myself to assume that a child will not try out certain things if I put it in their reach. That goes for scissors, tape, a stapler, etc. I have to make sure I don't put temptation in their face. We do get busy sometimes, but parents must check behind themselves to protect their children because like you said, it only takes one time. I think that's how others feel, yet they are just saying it in a more direct manner.
Poet The-Xtra The fact of the matter is no matter how alert and watchful you are kids are kids. You're not going to see everything.. Accidents happen. The reason why you know how to safety proof and what to keep away from kids is because accidents happened and lives were lost or severely impacted by these accidents. The main issue is the trolls looking to bully and saying insensitive shit about children dying. These are sad cases and because they happened we're able to learn from them and education people. There is a direct difference between bullying and having an opinion, you're fine but some of these people should be ashamed of themselves.
+getnotoriousXBL Yes. I totally understand. I hate hearing about any child getting injured badly or dying. It definitely is a scary thing. We all have to be mindful of people's feelings, especially those who have lost a loved one.
Obviously all comments left by those blaming the parents are from people who don’t even have children or understand how easy it is for this to happen so innocently.... shame on all of you for thinking so negatively.
Are you kidding me? Are you saying that because taking care of baby is difficult if the kid plays and something happens then it’s his/her fault? Well in that case let’s keep the kids in cages. Is that what you think? Kids don’t think in the consequences of their actions ‘till they have 6 years at least. If something happens to a child the responsibility goes all to their parents and there is no excuse to give when talking about how well do you take care of your child. You do it right or you just simply don’t.
@@jimenamendiola6460 you can look away for a second and that's how long it takes. Sorry that parents around the world arn't "super mom". Many parents don't even know of this hazard. This happens to thousands of children. If you don't have blinds at your house you might be visiting grandma's house and it could just happen. Then just like that your child is gone. Accidents happen. Especially in Parenthood. Just pray this won't ever happen to your child, because no matter how good of a parent you are, everyone's at risk.
my child too was tragically. killed from a corded blind while she was waiting for my husband to come home from work. unfortunately companiesm don't understand what it means when you do all there is to protect your children, and taking corded blinds off the shelves would be a big "relieved" moment for our family and know that our precious baby had some rest to her life.
I am so sorry for your lost. Don't feel guilty and don't pay attention to rude comments. Some people don't understand what an accident is. Some other children have died chocking with a little piece of fruit... and people still will say is parents fault... other children have died because they hit they head in the ground after they fell ...people will still say it was parents fault... I can give more examples and people will keep blaming parents. You know the true, it was an accident... May God give you the strength to keep going. You are a great mother. Don't be discourage.
The petechiael hemorrhaging around his eyes literally show how dangerously close he came to dying! He was already passed out and blue! So glad this was a happy ending!
If you didn't know, now you know that corded blinds are no longer being sold in stores or websites in the U.S. and Canada. This was official as of December 2018, and thankfully it was.
You know people, instead of blaming the fucking parents of not watching them better, kids are curious and doesn't know that blinds cords are dangerous cause they are just young kids. So please don't blame the parents.
I saw that video over a year ago when my son was only a baby but I still think about it every single day when I open the blinds at home, when I twist the cords up high out of reach. Im so glad that mom shared her video with the world, the blind companies still make blinds with cords knowing many kids will die every year but her video being out their WILL saves some kids from being strangled.
Lol.. u may need new ones.. or new brackets.. nothing like pulling the blinds up to see the beautiful day and getting smashed in the head a second after you pull.. I've been beat up by blinds myself lol
Even if the danger weren't there, cordless blinds are more fun, anyway. Up and down and up and down...all at the push of a button. Please, get rid of corded blinds. They're dangerous and boring.
When my baby brother was like 3 or2 he almost got choked by one....... He's now 4......it was not tight but it was around his neck....... My dad immediately got it out, every since if we got blinds with cords we tie the cords all the way up, for my baby brother not to get it.... Oh, my baby brother was behind my dad witch was sitting on the couch....acident happen, he was watching him.
Hi everyone, I am Nicci Walla, we have spent years spreading awareness and saying yes to news interviews and hoping word of mouth and this video will save kids and pets. I was in the other room making lunch before I started taping through the kitchen entryway with a giant VHS camcorder blocking my view to my right.... i had no idea he was in trouble till i moved into the room. He is getting married in 10 months. He is 25 now. This devastating experience happened when he was 4. His favorite movie was everything Tarzan. Thank you to everyone who stands up for parents who are not perfect but always doing their best to keep these kiddos safe.
i dont have kids, BUT i have always cut off the knot on blinds cuz of my animals. first thing if i was a renter. if i owned the blinds were replaced with curtains...no more blinds. cats have a big risk of hanging themselves with blinds, playing with it, then jumping down off the ledge. boom,hung cat. i had a cat when i was a kid hang. not by blinds but by a leash. my mom had put out kitty on a leash and my sister moved it to close to a set of outdoor stairs. kitty climbed up stairs, and jumped thru the rails. she hung herself and i found her. age 14, i was so hysterical i couldnt even talk...it is something i wont ever forget. ever since then i am hyper vigilant on making sure there is nothing at all in my home or outside that can hand any animal.
The people in the comments blaming the parents obviously have never had children before you could clearly hear the mothers panic in her voice and the relief when she heard him cry and anyway this could happen to any parent and it commonly does
At the hardware store where I work I have recently removed ALL corded blinds from all three stores where I work, they were all replaced by cordless or breakaway cord blinds.
I was like 9 yrs or 10 yrs old, and was playing on the living room , my family was just moved to the house so there were no furnitures so I was running in circles playing and going behind the curtains, my mother was there, suddenly Ifelt something stop me , my feet suddenly where in the air, the cord of the curtain was around my neck luckily it was long enough to not hanging me.
My mom said it was about to happen to me when I was 2 or so but as soon as I touched the cord she didn’t want to do this but she pushed me away and bumped my head on the floor and after that day she has always tied a knot with the blind cords
It's not just the children that this is a danger to. I wonder how many animals have been killed or injured by these cords. Have you ever seen a cat get tangled in one of those things, the more it struggles the tighter it gets.
I'm glad he was ok.... And poor baby who died 😢.this happened to my chihuahua dog , I came from work one day and the string was so tight in her neck I don't know how long she was like that 😥 but she was ok thank God after that I put curtains up
If the pull cord is secured properly by the parent, the child isn't going to be able to pull the cords out from between the ladders on the mini blind. Parents need to take responsibility also, they need to be aware of all the child safety hazards in the Home.
Why blame companies for their products. Parents should keep better eyes on their kids and instead of pointing fingers. Shame on America and their stupidity.
as a child I had an incident like this before it was a shower head that came off to wash your lower body so it had a loop. one morning I was leaning over it was early I fell asleep for a Split Second and my head got caught in the loop next thing you know my mom hears shampoo and conditioner bottles falling I had passed out if it wasn't for the sounds I probably wouldn't be here telling you this. as a child you don't know it's nobody's fault
It’s a silent danger when people don’t realize it could strangle. You just can’t imagine something like that happening, but the chords are fixed tightly and they form a loop, so they can act as a hanging contraption. Kind of morbid to think of it that way, but the image might remind people to be extra careful.
some of you are so ignorant saying the parents should have been watching their children closer. This can happen in a matter of seconds and I bet most of you judging the parents would never have hesitated to buy blinds with cords thinking something like that could never happen to you. I seriously doubt any of you would ever be the perfect parents you imagine yourself to be.
It takes less than 1 min to die, this can be so quick that can happen to every parent. It is so important for the parent to prevent danger but sometimes it may occur in a situation that you couldn't even imagine. I am a mother of 2 and I am obsessed about children safety, it is on my mind all day and night but as I said you can't even see it coming. Once I read about a little girl who was chocked with her school back's belt. Accidents can happen and it is so terrible.
That image won't leave anytime soon. I have a 4 year old son right now. Had his birthday party today. That was...I honestly wish I didn't see it. So glad he's ok.
I don’t blame the parent in this situation. The important part is that she caught it and the child survived. These window blinds are a hazard to small children who don’t know better. When a parent is looking at all her children the child could appear to just be standing weirdly (something kids do regularly). The manufacturer should be held accountable and need to ensure the child safety of there products if they are going to be sold. I’m glad this one ended happily
I reamember when I was little I would play with the blinds but not on my neck it was my hand and mom said don't rap it around me so I pull on that part and the string and blinds would come of but my mom was watching so I don't rap it around me
This exposes a heart issue. Since when did money become more important than the lives of children? It's sad that people don't place value on life anymore. If this was my company I would have made it my business to change the design of blinds right when the first child lost their life. We live in a sick money hungry world.
+Jaylin Hogan You don't have to be hanging to be choking, you can be playing with the cord and you may not even notice it's around your neck and you turn around and start to leave when suddenly to start strangling yourself. Not sure how it would even around your neck but ti could still happen..
Not everyone has children and there are so many other things that children could injure themselves on (cables, knifes, pens, dolls with long hair, and of course any kinds of cords). Raising awareness is good but banning something that specific is stupid.
Glad this video has been shown to raise awareness anyone saying the mother should have been watching the child are thick as fuck don't have these type of blinds with younger children the end
The fact that you are allowed to settle a case with money is repulsive. Nevermind the blood on your hands, so long as you have money, covered in blood then you are above such trivial things.
If you want your baby to be safe why are there window blinds in the baby's room and why is the crib next to the window why don't you move the crib away from the window that way the baby won't get stuck in the cords or just have curtains instead or just leave the window bare that's what I would do and I don't have kids this video makes it look so easy for kids to harm them self with the blinds cord how would a baby get stuck in it so easily they would need to be so close to the window and climb up the side of the crib to get stuck my advice is don't have blinds in the baby's if they are not needed keep the crib away from the window and maybe have curtains or a bare window even a window shade would be safer
I’m going to think hard about this video when I design my new place. I know a lot of my cousins are children, I think it’s my duty to protect them when they’re at our house. And honestly? Window blinds with cords are a danger to children.

in my opinion spring motor roller shades are safer because the spring motors are high up where the shade hangs and they are cordless

This is why I resize the cord length on blinds. I have anxiety on a good day and I was always like this is a hazard.
some people we know just lost their 3-year-old son to this. I feel so bad for the parents. got to get the word out on this.
Omg i am so sorry to hear that😞 May he rest in peace
omg he wasnt choking his feet were on the ground he wast "hanging"
+Jaylin Hogan You don't have to be hanging to be choking, you can be playing with the cord and you may not even notice it's around your neck and you turn around and start to leave when suddenly to start strangling yourself. Not sure how it would even around your neck but ti could still happen..
Not everyone has children and there are so many other things that children could injure themselves on (cables, knifes, pens, dolls with long hair, and of course any kinds of cords). Raising awareness is good but banning something that specific is stupid.
Glad this video has been shown to raise awareness anyone saying the mother should have been watching the child are thick as fuck don't have these type of blinds with younger children the end
Watching this at midnight in the dark this freaked me out
Makes me sad
Glad i dont have blind cords
happened to me as a toddler. its weird, i can remember my dad hugging me after but thats all
Idgaf

I would like to just update that as of January 2020, while Lowes and Home Depot have stopped selling corded window blinds, Walmart still does.
It's not the cord's problem tho, it's the dumbass kids
@@scratchypack8549 like you
WalMart is the only store withing 30 miles. I demanded they get me blineds with cords. They ordered them for me.
That so scary and terrifying I feel bad for him and his mom I never been choked by a window cord blind before
That's fucking terrifying
The fact that you are allowed to settle a case with money is repulsive. Nevermind the blood on your hands, so long as you have money, covered in blood then you are above such trivial things.
If you want your baby to be safe why are there window blinds in the baby's room and why is the crib next to the window why don't you move the crib away from the window that way the baby won't get stuck in the cords or just have curtains instead or just leave the window bare that's what I would do and I don't have kids this video makes it look so easy for kids to harm them self with the blinds cord how would a baby get stuck in it so easily they would need to be so close to the window and climb up the side of the crib to get stuck my advice is don't have blinds in the baby's if they are not needed keep the crib away from the window and maybe have curtains or a bare window even a window shade would be safer
Glory to god. I am so thankful that he made it. Jesus bless the children who didn't make it. May they rest in heaven lord.
young kids are to curious
Poor child and mother
I’m going to think hard about this video when I design my new place. I know a lot of my cousins are children, I think it’s my duty to protect them when they’re at our house. And honestly? Window blinds with cords are a danger to children.
I'm throwing out my blinds
and how was this the manufacturer's fault? don't buy it in the first place...
Alberto Garcia they come with the house....
this is scary i did the same thing and my name is gavin and i was around his age but im 14 now i sware on my life
I really wouldn't blame window blind companies. Maybe parents should consider using curtains and switch to blinds once their kids are smart enough.
can we all appreciate how his brother staring up at him i want me relationship the same he looks at him
