It's time for going off to the beach, having back yard cook-outs and plenty of outdoor summer fun. It's also time for parents to think about ways to keep their children safe through the summer.
Danger lurks everywhere for children.
It is our responsibility as parents to protect our children from any harm. Be alert and be smart. But don't be fooled into thinking that only small children can accidently drown. Older children and adults become victims also from various causes, including drinking or boating accidents. Always put a life jacket on children when in a boat, or if around water and drinking.
