Though a broader safety bill failed, Governor Mike Kehoe recently signed a targeted law mandating background checks. Olga calls it progress but insists CPR training and emergency plans are still urgently needed. Parents are urged to ask tough questions and consider alternatives if safety concerns aren’t addressed.
