NO MORE STRINGS FOR OUR KIDS! Save their lives.

Important messages for all parents

A friend of a Jens List member posted this on Facebook and I thought I should share it with this group since there is an important lesson to be learned for parents of young children:

“As many of you know last year on May 21st we lost our two and half year old son Coby to a terrible accident. I wanted to thank everyone for all of the love and support we have received in dealing with this terrible tragedy…and say a few things in remembrance and tribute. As many of you know Coby died from asphyxiation. He was wearing a borrowed sweatshirt that had a hood and strings. The strings got caught on a play-structure. Jacquie and I know this was an accident and blame no one. I only tell you this for one reason… if you have children, work with children or have friends with children…please make sure they know to take out the strings of any jacket or hoodie they may have. If we can prevent one parent from going through what we have then this note will have accomplished something.”
