This famous quote has survived the test of time and certainly is applicable to the topic of child safety. Children are brought into this word speechless, defenseless, and in need of protection, protection, and nurture of their parents, family, and, yes, the community. While most children grow stronger and wiser over time, they still need to be properly cared for and supervised. Again, let's keep in mind the sage words of Benjamin Franklin, By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
