So never, ever, put a child in a car.

Or on a pavement, or in a wood (it might climb a tree and then fall), or
in the garden (it might eat the laburnam), or...

It's tragic that so many children are killed each year, by whatever
means this happens. It is also true, however, that far more children
survive the hazards of life than succumb to them.

They do indeed but while I don't think there have been any reported cases of
a child being killed by eating e.g. laburnum seeds (or any other toxic
plant) for many years, there is no doubt toddlers die in ponds or pools
every year. So taking reasonable precautions like fencing seems sensible to
me whereas actually filling in a pond really doesn't.
