CelebBabyLover, I’m sorry if I gave that impression. I was not trying to criticize Dean.

Liam is so cute and tori and dean seem like hands on parents. I heard jack wants to live with them, so they are looking for a bigger home now.

Natasha- In all honesty, it DID sound like you were critcizing Dean’s parenting rather than just trying to educate the rest of us on helmet safety.

All I’m saying is BE CAREFUL. Jeeze! Please forgive me for letting you know it can be dangerous for your children. I’m just a horrible person for caring.

Liam means “helmet head”

I think the problem doesn’t exist.Dean is adult,he knows what he’s doing.He didn’t break Liam’s neck If put the helmet for few seconds on Liam.Come on,Natasha!

Liam looks so adorable!

I’m not an expert here but I don’t think there is much strain on his neck since the helmet is so big its resting on his shoulders and truth be told, I’ve been kids with much worse things on their heads, like dogs, and plastic containers.

Its just a few seconds of fun for Liam, to make him feel like Daddy for a bit. Its not like Liam spent hours on end with that on his head. It probably didn’t last all that long, most kids his age don’t want anything weighing them down, it was probably off his head seconds later.

The important thing is Dean was watching him closely and Liam looks happy.

Sigh, I completely understand but what I said was “large helmets on small children”. There are helmets that fit children perfectly well and by all means they can and should wear them. It’s adult helmets that are dangerous.

Bela, just like I said to ang, I’m sorry that you don’t care about the safety of children like I do. Good luck with your children.

I agree with Bela. I’m sorry that some kids have been injured or worse, but that’s just the way life is sometimes. We can’t (and shouldn’t) stop doing every single fun thing that might *possibly* have some risk attached to it – because everything does.

Like, I’m sure some child somewhere has choked to death on legos. Should we all stop allowing our children to play with legos? Some kids have been hurt/killed in car accidents; do we need to stop putting our kids in the car? In the news the other day, there was a boy who thought it would be funny to wrap his seat belt around his neck and pretend like he was being choked by it; well he too good a job of wrapping it, struggled to get out, and really did accidentally strangle himself to death.

But we’re not all going to stop making our children wear their seat belts because of tragedies like that, are we?
