You guys. Listen. Enough.

As a mother, my heart breaks for the parents. As an ER doctor, Ill never forget the children Ive taken care of in this situation. Ill never forget the look in the parents eyes, as their expressions are a combination of beseeching me to save their child, and the blame they put on themselves for not securing the furniture.

I dont want to see that expression in a mothers eyes. Ever again.

And you can help with that. Because you can secure your own furniture to the wall. Its easy (if you need directions, watch this video on how to do it ).

If its taller than 3 feet, secure it. If it has a TV on it, secure the TV too.

Please. Do it today.

Love, Dr. Darria
