Oh no, not again... :-( Parents, please read this, and spread the word. My husband just called me from work to tell me that his co-workers 3 month old son died last night. The child is survived by his twin sister and other siblings. The father put the boy down in his crib with a bottle and left to the living room to play on the PlayStation with his other children. After the game he returned to check on the boy and found he'd spit up and stopped breathing. This is the second death of a co-worker's child that has happened where playing video games was more important than caring for a child. The first was about 2 months ago. The parents wanted to go have sex, so they asked their 12 year old son to watch his younger brother, age 2. The 2 year old boy wandered outside and drowned in the swimming pool while the 12 year old brother played his Nintendo. Yes, I realize these are tragic accidents, and these families will feel enormous guilt and sadness for a long time to come. I do sympathize with them; accidents happen. Please, check on your children often, and never ever leave a child in the care of a minor, or a baby alone while he/she is eating.
