911 child safety special

William Shatner introduces this US/Canada programme about five cases of unintentional injury. The accounts are personal, with accident events being recreated using the actual participants. The programme includes interviews with parents, hospital staff and others involved in the accident in some way. The cases are : a girl (about 5 years old) is crushed by a school bus as she tries to retrieve something blown under the bus by the wind, a young girl is hit by a car when riding a bicycle without a helmet, a two year old boy is burned by hot grease when he pulls the chord and pan over him, two cases of child poisoning. Parents talk frankly about their emotional response to the accidents. The incidents are used as platforms for highlighting prevention issues - helmet campaigns, the American and Canadian Safe Kids Campaign, childproofing ones home etc.;Video also contains adverts - one launching SAFE KIDS CANADA, and another promoting Esso petrol and the wearing of seat belts.;Suitable for parents, older children and prevention workers
