What a horrible tragedy! I don’t think anyone would expect something like this to happen. My oldest daughter turns 8 this weekend. No helium!

This is why, even though he pleads and begs, I don’t give my son balloons.

What a terrible tragedy. The poor family. You don’t imagine such a thing happening to a kid that age but it sounded like a huge balloon.

That is such a tragedy. May she RIP

What a terrible terrible tragedy. RIP Jaina

A tragedy you would never imagine happening. If we have balloons I get somebody to double knot the top of them and put them up out of the reach of the children at least 2 1/2 metres from the floor. ladders that are stored and locked against the wall laying on their sides in the rafters of a locked garage are handy. We always make sure either the children aren’t home or are definitely in bed asleep. If they are given any, they usually hit them around the room, then are disposed of.

What a terrible tragedy! Such a beautiful little girl!

Wow how tragic. RIP little one

I was aware back when my daughter was a toddler of the dangers of balloons and suffocation, and for that reason limited the use of balloons and was very cautious when I did use them.

Such a tragic incident, I could only imagine how the parents would be feeling. Will never again let my daughter do this trick again.
