Friendly reminder that not everything you see on TikTok is a good idea, especially when it comes to water safety.
quickly began responding to the video, sharing why it's not a safe move no matter how closely you're watching your kids in the water.in response to the hack, with the executive director of the NDPA, Adam Katchmarchi, Ph.D., writing: "We implore all parents to disregard this message, and not put playpens in any body of water. This is not a recommended water safety measure and could put a child at an increased risk of drowning.
The risks of the playpen migrating to the deep end of a pool, filling with water too quickly, tipping over, or coming apart are just too high, and it's in no way worth the potential safety hazards that can happen within minutes or even seconds, says Julapalli. You won't want to try this even in a smaller body of water, such as a kiddie pool or hot tub, as the same risks would still apply.
Ensure you've got four-sided fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates, pool safety covers, and alarm systems to ensure a child or unauthorized adult cannot access the water unsupervised. And perhaps most importantly, the fifth layer of protection is supervision, which means at least one adult is vigilant and aware of all children at all times. "Children should be at arm's reach of an adult at all times in any body of water, including bathtubs, swimming pools, lakes, and oceans," says Julapalli.
