Flat screen televisions are light weight compared to the older box models. But they still pose a serious threat of injury to children. Your little explorer is not equipped to think of the dangers if they decide to climb on the piece of furniture where your television is placed. They may be reaching for what they see on the screen or accidentally bump into it while playing and exploring. That television can fall with the force of a thousand pounds causing serious head and internal injuries which can be fatal. All televisions in your home should be secured.
