A family in Redmond, Washington is grieving this holiday season, because their 2-year-old son died Thanksgiving Day because of a stupid toy. Kenny Sweet was playing with a Magnetix toy with his older brother. Some of the little magnets fell out of the toy, and Kenny swallowed them. The magnets were so powerful that two of them attached to each other, pinching off a large segment of his intestines. That's what killed him. The section of intestine that was pinched off died, and the infection that ensued caused little Kenny's death.

Please check your kids's toys for these hidden dangers. I know you can't wrap a child in cotton and protect him from the perils of this world forever, but we could all be a little more observant, don't you think?

Good advice!
