yes televisions that high are a potential danger for anyone specially small children, how terrible this story is especially cause it could of been prevented.

The Ilgenfritz family is a warm, loving family. What happened to Jasmine is a tragedy that was no one's fault. In response to "Tam from Victorville," the TV was not up high. It sat on a console. Only God knows how and why it fell after all of those years. The only way Jasmine's death could have been prevented is divine intervention. And because that did not happen, that tells me that Jesus wanted her to return home to Him. Our hearts go out to Jennifer and her family. There is nothing harder to deal with than the loss of a child. I should know; I lost my 7-year-old daughter 19 years ago October 26. I, too, buried my angel in her Halloween costume...she was a bride. God speed to all those who know and love this family. I know my heart is breaking for all of them.

Very well put. Some people can be very judgmental when they don't even know all the facts.

West Covina Girls Softball will be holding their 2009 Winterball Tournament at Cameron Park and we will be donating 100% of our proceeds at our Spirit Booth to the family.

I agree you certain things are meant to happen unfortunately, but at the same time if you have a small child you have to keep an eye on that child 24/7. MY wife and I have a small child and we take turns keeping an eye on our child.

So you never left her alone for 15 seconds to answer a phone, shut off a stove, grab something from a shelf, etc? That's how fast it happened.
I understand that we need to be more vigilant of our children but, let's not all rush to judgment.
