PSA about chiropractor table & infants *graphic*

in May 2011 Moms

This story hit me so hard and we have so many on here that see a chiropractor that I couldn't not share it.  I never knew they had a button an infant could reach on these tables...for those who have visits and a mobile LO, this is very important information to know!  I apologize in advance, I know it is a graphic story.  I can't even imagine what this woman is going through :(

With mom strapped down and screaming, 18-month-old dies after malfunction in chiropractor's office

    That is such a freak accident. I don't understand why the mom was strapped down? My chiro has never done any such thing. This is not a risk I have to worry about.

    Oh I wasn't sure because I've never been to one :-  I figured it couldn't hurt to share though

    I wish they would have said why they strapped her down, it seems that isn't the norm anywhere!

    Wow...sad story!  I also dont understand why the mom was strapped down.  I have never been strapped down nor have I ever heard of that being needed at the chiro.
