Accidental shootings are all too common and often tragically result in death or permanent injury. It is extremely important to learn proper methods of disciplining children. Shaking a child can result in brain injury. Any hit or slap to the head can cause the brain to whip back and forth in a quick motion, resulting in damage similar to that caused by whiplash. If you lack the appropriate parenting skills, seek help.
Abuse is at record levels in every part of our society.
Physical abuse can cause brain injury. If you are in an abusive relationship, seek help. Fighting and violent behavior do not resolve problems. Avoid situations that are likely to lead to violence. Be aware of your personal safety at all times and avoid obvious situations that may make you a victim of crime.
