Any summer outing can seem harmless because everyone is happy to be together and out in the sun. But every season, warnings about potential dangers emerge, and families must be vigilant about how they travel and where to.
There are many ways in which family vacations can be pointlessly ruined by an accident that could have been avoided — and it's up to parents to take the necessary precautions to protect kids and pets from things like tick-borne diseases and rashes from common weeds!
Parents can't always keep a constant eye on their kids, but checking on them frequently can mean life or death. It certainly did for one young boy: If his mother hadn't looked for him at the moment she did, the situation could've ended tragically.
Twin brothers and Dentists Stuart and Steve were on vacation with their family when they heard a woman screaming about her lost son on the beach. The woman said that he was there, in front of her one minute and gone the next.
That's when they saw a huge hole in the sand and knew that the boy could have trapped inside, with sand covering him. They started digging, and soon enough, the toddler was pulled from the trap, barely breathing. But thanks to CPR, and a trip to the hospital, the little one quickly regained consciousness and survived thanks to these quick-thinking brothers. He was under the sand for perhaps five minutes — and in just another minute more, he might not have survived.
