Open Windows & Kids Don't Mix

Warmer weather means you'll be opening windows, and that's a hazard to children. Sandy Nipper works at Legacy Children's Hospital and says an open window is an invitation to a young child. Nearly 50-children in Oregon have fallen from second and third floor windows. They recommend that you teach children to stay two steps back from a window; use stops to keep windows from opening more than four inches and don't put furniture next to a window.
