According to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1 to 4. It is also the most avoidable. Per DCFS, most drownings result from inadequate supervision when a caregiver becomes distracted by a phone, doorbell, or other children. Young children drown quickly and silently in as little as one inch of water. For every child who drowns, five more need emergency medical care for injuries that can result in brain damage. Drowning tragedies can be prevented by supervising children when they are near water. DCFS has some tips and suggestions to help keep little ones safe this summer: https://bit.ly/45FloAU
