I used to pay accident claims. Here are some real life medical records I had to review in my job:
One child lost an eye because someone left a loaded BB gun laying around in the house and another child picked it up and shot them. The other child probably thought it was a toy gun.
A toddler fell and broke their leg. It took the parents two to four days of the child refusing to bear weight on the leg for them to decide that a doctor's visit was in order.
A child went for an unsupervised ride on an ATV on a weekend morning while the parents slept in. Result: Their lower leg was amputated in the accident. They were nine years old.
But you go ahead and keep thinking that nothing genuinely bad ever happens to children when their parents are cavalier about risks to their safety.
