As parents, we strive to protect our children’s physical and emotional well-being. But even in the perceived safety of their own bedrooms, hidden dangers can exist.

This heartbreaking reality became all too real for one family, whose 14-year-old daughter tragically passed away in her room—an event no one could have imagined. Her death serves as a devastating reminder that danger can exist even in the most familiar places.

One often-overlooked threat is the smartphone. While these devices are a daily necessity, they are still electronic tools—and must be handled with care. A key safety rule: never use a smartphone while it’s charging.

Though rare, incidents involving electrocution or overheating have occurred, especially when using third-party chargers or damaged cables. It’s crucial that parents and teens alike understand and follow these safety guidelines.

Let this story be a wake-up call: even routine habits deserve a second look when safety is at stake.
