Safety Info/Statistics
This area of the site is dedicated to providing information on every aspect of child safety.
Saddening Statistics (compiled from National SAFE KIDS Campaign):
- For every child who drowns, an additional four are hospitalized for near-drowning and for every hospital admission, approximately four children are treated in hospital emergency rooms.
- More than half of drownings among infants (under age 1) occur in bathtubs. Drownings in this age group also occur in toilets and buckets.
More than 327 children, 89 percent between the ages of 7 and 15 months, have drowned in buckets containing water or other liquids used for mopping floors and other household chores since 1984.
- Approximately 10 percent of childhood drownings occur in bathtubs; and the majority of these occur in the absence of adult supervision.
