Why We Started Safe Kids America

We're parents who learned the hard way that "call 911" isn't always a plan. After hearing too many stories of families caught unprepared, we created this resource to share what actually works.

  • Real stories from real families — not sanitized corporate content
  • Evidence-based recommendations, not fear-mongering
  • Practical tools that work when panic sets in
  • A community of parents helping parents
