and adults should have the sense to realise if there is a pile of wood and kids see it they are going to go for it every time!

absolutely heart breaking!! poor little lad,

i dont know what else to say, i have two little girls that are my absolute world!

It puts an horrible feeling of dread straight to my core at the thought of them being anywhere near any of my equipment!

I read about this but couldn't bring myself to put a thread up!

Sad doesn't describe it.!

I sometimes think I'm too cautious with my kids and don't let them run free enough but my god. It's a balancing act I guess. When we were kids on the farm we would ride back to the farm on top of a trailer full of square bales with it rocking all over the place and us hanging on and laughing. All kinds of dangerous stuff we used to get up to but we loved it. I wouldn't let me kids do half of it.

 

I don't know. I guess all we can say is that poor kid and his poor Dad. It's easy to condemn but we don't know the full truth. Whatever, that families world has changed forever. Tragic.

Truly horrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My four children never step foot in my yard without my express permission, even though its right next to our garden.

Guess the american chippers don't have the safety bars like ours.

I couldn't envisage a child getting past ours unless they were dropped from above.

Maybe I'm not imaginative enough
