Warning For Grandparents and anyone watching young


There was a big tragedy in Toronto today. A 3-year-old was with his grandmother, in the grandmother's home. Her often left the with her during the day. The wandered off, left the building, and died from being out in the cold. There was a search for him but it was too late. He died.

I never had a and to my knowledge I never wandered and neither did my siblings. My boyfriend and I spoke about it and he said as a of 3 (coincidence), he wandered half a mile from home. It was summer and he was fine. The weather here is extremely cold and this wasn't so lucky.

I decided to put this up to remind grandparents watching their precious grandchildren, to be vigilant in this regard. In winter, it can truly be deadly if a wanders off. I hope nobody is offended by this. I am sure you all love your grandchildren. I just wanted to alert you. The grandmother is heartbroken about what happened and it's a tragedy that I hope I never read about again.

Thanks bearybeary, it was such a tragic story that I felt I had to pass it along.

My heart breaks for her too. I had no idea children wander out of their homes. Thanks Pat.

Thank you, Bill. I just heard about another case again today. A 4-year-old wandered out in the cold. He was thankfully found in time. His mother was charged.
