This is terrible and it's one reason I don't have blinds with pull-strings. I've heard horror stories of this before. I feel so bad for the family.  |

I don't think the family deserves any blame. A 5 year old is certainly old enough to be left in a room by themselves for a few minutes. A parent can't be expected to follow 2 feet behind their kid every moment of the day, nor would that be a particularly healthy situation for the child. Sometimes accidents just happen.  |

yeah i have heard horror stories about blinds as well which is why we have cut all of ours. Makes it a pain to shut the blinds but it is well worth it |

I agree Molly cat. I don't think it is anybodies fault that this happened. I just fear that both the mother and the daughter will be putting themselves through allot of guilt and pain because of this. |

aww Alissa *hugs* you seem like you need it. And after what happened you more than likely do. I know an internet hug isnt as good as a real one, but i hope it is sufficient enough to show that i care.  |

Parents need to caution their children about playing around cords like this. I used to get lectures all the time as a child about such things.  |

From Authorid: 62104
Why didn't the sister do anything to help her brother? I have heard about the dangers that the curtain/blinds cord can have. I admit, we have them and they are not out of reach of our children. Reading this post has just reminded me to do something about that.  |

I have a new baby that is almost 5 months old. She has a blind on her bedroom window and it came cut with plastic tips on the ends. I think that all blinds should come this way. My prayers go out for this family.  |

Sadly, shes going to feel guilty for the rest of her life about his death. A few years ago, on the news, they had a report on cords for blinds and other things that hung. It was sad because theres so many deaths that come from those cords. I only wish that the family never had to go through that event and the little boy would live to see another day... ~~Distaught~~  |

That poor family! My heart is breaking for them, but especially that little 11 year old girl who will have to live with the guilt for the rest of her life. I have said MANY times that children should NOT be left in charge of other children! They are not responsible enough and should not be expected to be responsible for another person.  |

How heartbreaking this is? This is another one of those posts, I was trying to avoid due to the title....I am just so tenderhearted, that these things stew with me. BUT, it is such a good cautionary tale for us parents, and yet such a tragic freak accident. That poor little girl will have to live with her guilt and I am sure her parents will lay some blame on her, too, even thought they will probably try hard not to....God Bless you and yours, and keep your safe...HipChik  |

This post reminds me of the time when my youngest son was a little one, his cot was near the window and one day he was crying cause he didn't want to be put down for a nap and I just let him cry it out a bit, so when he stopped suddenly I went in and the dang cord from the blind was wound round his neck and he was half laying and half sort of standing. Well I freaked out, grabbed the blind and in doing so pulled the whole blind down off the window and he was alright....it did teach me a valuable lesson on how quickly he could have strangled to death...ohhhhhh this post gave me goosebumps and I relived it..he is now 43yrs old...  |
