Alexandra Hope Kelly was in the process of decorating for her birthday when tragedy struck. Her mother, Channa Kelly, had gone to rest in the other room, only to return to find her daughter lifeless and with a balloon wrapped around her head.
Channa, from Clinton, Tennessee, said she wants other parents to be aware of the dangers balloons can pose. She remembers her daughter with fondness, “She was wonderful, so vivacious, independent, she loved crafts, swimming – oh she was a little fish.”
Clinton authorities reported a child’s death last weekend, and the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety has issued a warning in response. They recommend that parents and guardians do not let children under the age of eight play with uninflated balloons without supervision, as this can be hazardous. Furthermore, they suggest that if the balloon does break, the pieces should be collected and disposed of immediately.
The cause of Alexandra’s death is yet to be confirmed, and police are still investigating the incident. Channa Kelly hopes that her story can help other parents and guardians stay vigilant and aware of the potential risks.
