I understand that you cannot watch your child 24/7, as I have a 2 year old. But at 7:15PM, my daughter is inside eating dinner about to get a bath. If you have children, you need to key-bolt lock your doors and put the key somewhere your child cannot find it. I do that with all my doors and my child is safe. There is just too many children getting killed to preventable mistakes!!! God Bless this family!

teacher, "i" "thhink" you should "ceck" YOUR spelling before you "critize" anyone "else;s" spelling! Some of you people are unreal!!! If you really are a teacher, that explains why so many children are illiterate.
