A paramedic has warned parents of how easy it is for young children to drown in shallow pools of water which are often hiding in plain sight in the home.
Australian mother-of-two Nikki, who teaches child safety through the Instagram page Tiny Hearts Education, posted a video early Wednesday morning highlighting four household hazards that appear innocent at first glance.
In the clip, Nikki revealed even tiny pools just five centimetres deep can prove fatal for infants.
This volume can be contained in breakfast bowls, plant buckets, toilets and mixing jugs - meaning it s vital to empty or keep kids away from them at all times.
