HAIR STRAIGHTENERS -v- WELL-BEING MEASURE

The Independent share the fact that 'One in twenty burns requiring hospital treatment are from hair straighteners'. 'Hair straighteners are responsible for nearly one in 20 serious burns experienced by children.' 'A study, published in the Archives of Diseases in Childhood, examined the burns and scalds of 1,215 children under 16 admitted to emergency burns units'. [1]

'Two in five of burns in children were children under five'.

That then brings in the measure of well-being of the common sense of the mothers of the children.

In addition to the measure of their values, and intelligence of the heart. Were these mothers in conscious awareness of the risk factors, and the vulnerability of the children due to the equivalent of 'hot irons'?

Did you do your ironing when the children were in bed for their safety?

How about the food mixers?

Food mixers were given covers for a sensible and responsible reason for the safety for children.

However, I notice more and more, that food mixers without coverings are now becoming fashionable again, with those that can afford them.

So the question is this, when you purchase something, have you spent the appropriate amount of time considering the implications of your purchase, in conscious awareness of the risk factors to yourself, and your family? Did you make a wise decision? Does wisdom have any value to you?

Did you even bother to think about it all, before you handed your cash over?

How about the advertisers and PR companies, did you consider the risk factors, of promoting products that can take an innocent child into the emergency burns unit?

Or was winning accounts more important to you? Do you have any ethical code of conduct, or ethics?

How much do you value the skin of a child? Do you comprehend what 'burns' of that nature, can do to genetics?

How about you mums, what price have you paid for straightening your hair with a hair straightener?

If and when, it results in a child having to go to hospital? Was straightening your hair worth it?

How about the scars on the body of your child? Does it remind you constantly of the choice that you made?

So who is responsible? The mothers, the government? The Advertising Standards Authority?

Everyone has a responsibility, to be responsible, and consider the full implications of their actions.

Especially, when and where, vulnerable children are concerned.

Its a matter of caring fully, every moment in time. Its about having a conscious awareness of other realities, other than your own. Of course, that means you have to find your hearts of conscience, and put the children's good health first.

CHARITY 

Do we redress the balance in the nature of humanity by creating more laws?

Or do we redress the balance by ensuring that governments stop 'socially engineering', the populous?

Do we redress the balance by ensuring that every single product, is considered on a scale of risk factor, by those that know what those risk factors are? In this case, the feminine, experienced mums?

In olden days, the wise grandmothers counseled their daughters, and grand-daughters, on what was best for the daughters, the children, and the children listened with respect, to what they said.

If children do not respect their elders, if they do not respect themselves, how will they ever respect their own children, and their vulnerability? A mother has to be compassionate, for a child to learn it, by example.

The godmothers also had an influence; due to the mother usually choosing her best friend, or a person that was an upstanding citizen. Sometimes, it was another member of the family.

Family life in community is essential for the safe upbringing of children, children require more than one influence in their lives to keep them on the 'straight and narrow'. However, the best of influences are from those that truly love children fully. Family members, and friends that have already brought up their children successfully.

Getting pregnant, and giving birth is also a health risk, so be sure that you have the upright measure of well-being. Of course, first you have to have the natural ability to measure it. Did you reclaim it? Is peace your governor? If not, why not?

What peace do you offer a child? Did you make peace with yourself?

Reminds me of the words, 'what you do to others, you do unto yourselves'. In the case of the 'hair straighteners', it applies in reverse. 'What you do to yourselves, you do unto others'.
