Terrible situation

[Emilys4Guppies]

Studies show (I actually HAVE this study) that kids are TWICE as likely to die in the care of their PARENTS than in daycare.

Is there a link for that study? Is it because children spend more time in their parent's care?

Here is an excerpt from that study:

The fatality rate in centers for children 0 to 4 years of age
is 0.11 per 100,000 children enrolled. Family
day care, offered in the provider’s home, is less
safe, with a fatality rate of 1.58. Care in the
child’s own home is the least safe, with a fatality rate of 2.06.

I have only read a few pages from the study but so far it is very enlightening and sad at the same time. I think more parents and providers should see this.
Thanks for posting it.
