We hear a lot about the negative impact of too much television watching for children, but in two separate incidents in Brooklyn recently, TV has actually killed children – by falling on them. Recently, the New York Times reported that a four-year-old girl was killed when her family’s 27-inch TV/DVD/VCR fell off its rolling stand and crushed her. A three-year-old named Alexander Williams, also of Brooklyn, died last month in a similar fashion. No doubt there are many other examples. I know from personal experience that my son loves to climb on things and I am sure something like that would be very appealing as a climbing target.
