> If you were a parent you would know that time is not available to you, that you cant sit and stare at the kids from morning to night.

So there are no such things as play pens in which you can create a secure and safe area while you are distracted with life?

And my point remains, if you need a warning that eating batteries is dangerous, perhaps wait a few years. The fact that this keeps reoccurring means people aren’t using their brain.



Playpens aren’t designed for 3 year olds. Now because you didn’t use your brain in this instance, it’s your fault the child dies because your a bad parent. You should have known that 3 years old are too old for playpens.

This is your logic. You already failed the test before becoming a parent. You would be a ‘bad parent’ in your own words.


Oh sure, an area keeping your child wrangled isn’t designed for 3 year olds. Again you’re not using your brain.


Just to be clear, this is your idea of ‘using your brain’. Instead of creating rules for companies to make household products safe for kids, we should allow them to continue as is. Instead kids should be confined in playpens to keep them safe until the time they are ready for school. Even though the parents don’t know the danger exists and could easily place a toy with a battery in the playpen unknowingly making the whole exercise pointless. Still it’s best to deprive a children of experiencing the world by confinement them well beyond the recommended years in the false believe that it will keep them safe.

We should adjust our behaves to accomodate companies unsafe products, that’s using your brain.


No ones ever thought of using a playpen before have they. It's obviously been used until the child grew well out of it when they are running and talking. You're using your brain to show everyone how little you know, well done.
