Child Water Safety MonthTragically, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children under the age of six. A drowning can happen in seconds and typically occurs when a child is left unattended or during a brief lapse in supervision.
Kern Cares reminds all adults that drowning is preventable and the best way to protect children and avoid tragedy is for adults to stay alert at all times when children are near water.
It's our responsibility!
