By babyproofing and taking other simple safety precautions, it's estimated that 90 percent of these accidental injuries can be avoided. The big problem is, most parents simply don't know about the dangers that lurk in their homes. Injury occurs and they deem it "unavoidable" or a "freak accident."

I am an impassioned Child Safety Expert and a concerned mother of two who is personally dedicated to lowering these tragic and needlessly high statistics by educating new parents. Boo Boo Busters does this by way of servicing several counties with our professional babyproofing services, conducting a wide variety of public speaking engagements, working with the Perinatal Education departments of local hospitals, joining in-store events with Babystyle stores and by offering consulting services to the news media. It's shameless that we have to wait until another child dies before home safety issues are deemed newsworthy and topical. As a former journalist, I'm making it my personal mission to make this not the case any longer.
