A mother in Wisconsin is speaking out and calling for change after the sudden death of her 10-month-old child after the little girl accidentally ingested a water bead.
Esther Jo Bethard, just 10 months old, was a mischievous child, with bright blue eyes and curly red hair, her mother Taylor Bethard told News Digital in an interview.
A mother in Wisconsin is speaking out and calling for change after her 10-month-old child died after accidentally ingesting a water bead. Said mom Taylor Bethard, “She knew she wasn’t supposed to climb the stairs. So she would start to climb them, stop to look at you, smile, and scurry away as fast as she could when you went to get her.”“When I say she was adored, I truly mean she was adored and fiercely loved by everyone,” added the mom.
Water beads are also “marketed as children’s toys or therapies for children with sensory processing or autism spectrum disorders,” the website notes. It also said, “We have been working with industry to improve the relevant standards for these products and are considering additional rulemaking options should they not do so in a timely manner. We strongly encourage parents and caregivers to report any incidents with this product to us at SaferProducts.gov.”
In the wake of their daughter’s death, the Bethard family has set up a GoFundMe to pay for her funeral expenses, and mom Taylor Bethard is hoping more people will learn about“I want to encourage sending emails/letters to your school boards, superintendents, daycare and preschool directors, and teachers,” she said.
She also said, “We are blessed by wonderful friends, family, and support from our church. Suddenly losing your child is every parent’s worst nightmare.”
