Take them to a neighbor. Call the fire department, and then call the parents to let them know where you and the children are. Keep the youngsters safe by preventing accidents. Know where the potential hazards are, such as electrical outlets, appliances, and exposed heating elements. Also ask the parents if all medicine, bleaches and household cleaners are securely locked up.
Stairs can be dangerous for youngsters.
Keep a curious toddler from playing on or around them. Remember, too, that stairs are not meant to be a storage area. Anything placed on the stairs can become an obstacle to fall over. If there is a gate across the stairway, make sure it is kept latched. A malfunction of the carriage's safety brake or a sudden movement by the child could put it right over the edge.
