Episode 185: Preventing Childhood Drownings (with Christi Brown)

From time to time, instead of covering an individual child’s story, I tackle a broader topic, such as my past episodes about hot car deaths and medical child abuse. While the topic of today’s episode doesn’t necessarily intersect with that of child abuse and neglect, it definitely intersects with this podcast’s purpose: to protect children.For this episode, I spoke with Christi Brown, the executive director of the Judah Brown Project. Christi is a mom who always thought she was protecting her kids from the dangers of water until her three-year-old son, Judah, died in 2016 from an accidental drowning that happened in the blink of an eye. If you think “That could never happen to me,” this episode is a must-listen.Links related to this episode:The Judah Brown Project website: https://judahbrownproject.orgThe Judah Brown Project on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/judahbrownprojectSend notes for Judah’s stocking this Christmas: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=866887048947117&set=a.422232596745900Lifesaver Pool Fence: https://poolfence.comNational Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA): https://ndpa.org/ Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.
