A 13-year-old girl used her phone while it was charging and came away with terrible burns on her neck. The idea that safeguarding our children becomes our top responsibility from the moment they are born is one that I believe every parent would concur with.
We go to tremendous measures to keep our children safe because the thought of them getting sick or hurt is frequently unimaginable. The majority of us don’t even give it any thought; instead, it’s an instinct that takes over the moment we see our child.
Sadly, people in the world often have differing opinions, and even with the strictest due diligence, mistakes can and will occur.
Most parents will be terrified if something happens that they can’t stop, especially if it’s an accident or experience they couldn’t have predicted.
Jackie Fedro is quite knowledgeable about that. Although her daughter’s horrific experience occurred in 2016, we believe it is still worth sharing today.
BuzzFeed claims that Jackie decided to let her 13-year-old daughter Gabbie have her own phone in 2016. Gabbie received an LG D500 for Christmas.
Jackie told BuzzFeed, “We finally gave in and got Gabbie a cell phone so we can stay in touch with her more easily due to her crazy practice schedule.”
However, what transpired was a nightmare that none of them could have anticipated. One day, Jackie heard Gabbie cry while she was in her room using her phone.
Jackie remembered, “After it [happened], she came running downstairs, grabbing her neck.” “She was screaming hysterically because she was in so much pain.”
“Watching your child scream in agony and not knowing how to help her is the worst feeling in the world as a mother.” Before she could even tell us what had happened, it took her a full five minutes.
Gabbie admitted to her mother that she had been using her phone while it was charging. After receiving an electric shock, the 13-year-old’s neck was burnt as the electricity passed through her phone, up the charging wire, and into her metal necklace.

“She suffered excruciating second-degree burns and will now have a scar all the way around her neck,” Jackie told BuzzFeed.
Speaking about the alarming incident, Jackie urged other parents to consider the often overlooked risks associated with telephones.
Jackie stated, “With so many kids using phones these days, we need to warn parents about the harm they can cause.”
How horrifying! Have you previously heard of something similar occurring? I most definitely hadn’t.
