This document discusses ways to provide a safe environment for children. It recommends childproofing the home by exploring at a child's level to identify hazards between the floor and 40 inches high. Safety precautions in the kitchen include keeping hot items, glassware, and knives away from edges and supervising children. Proper bathroom safety involves securing medicines and using nonslip mats. Firearm safety means teaching children guns are not toys and storing firearms and ammunition separately locked. Falls can be prevented by securing furniture and using safety gates at windows and doors. Cribs should have firm mattresses and slats no more than 2 3/8 inches apart.

110. 8-year-old shoots elderly caregiver after playing video game
An eight-year-old boy killed his grandmother last weekend after playing the violent video
game Grand Theft Auto IV. Marie Smothers, 87, was shot in the back of the head as
she watched television in her mobile home. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities believe the shooting was intentional.
Police say that prior to the shooting, Smothers and her grandson "had a normal, loving
relationship." Grand Theft Auto IV is rated "M" for mature audiences and is
recommended for ages 17 and above. A child psychologist said access to such a violent
game could encourage aggressive behavior: "When you have a video game that is
shooting at a human being, that is practicing shooting at a human being."
A similar connection has been suggested with the Sandy Hook Elementary School
shooting last December. The shooter, Adam Lanza, was reportedly obsessed with
violent video games such as Call of Duty.
According to Common Sense Media, 90 percent of movies, 68 percent of video games,
and 60 percent of TV shows present some depiction of violence. Kids 8 and under
watch an average of one hour and 40 minutes of TV or DVDs a day, while older kids
watch an average of four hours daily. Most kids start playing video games around age
four. One expert warns that "prolonged exposure to violence in media is a risk factor.
And it's kids who have multiple risk factors who are likeliest to behave aggressively.“
Jim Denison, August 27, 2013
