Heartbroken Mom's Warning After Son Died Being Strangled By A Blind Cord While Playing At Home 

A heartbroken mom took to social media to share a terrible incidnet that claimed life of her 'happiest little boy' after he was strangled by a blind cord while playing at home.

One-year-old Kane Davidson suffered a fatal brain injury after getting caught in the cord as he was playing with his big brother at his family's house in Oldham in January this year.

Natasha Ogden shares how she found her baby and intially thought he was playing hide and seek but was left devastated after learning the truth.

Despite the best efforts of medics Kane, who would have been two in March, died several days later in hospital. 

Last week an inquest at Rochdale Coroner's Court ruled his death was 'accidental', and now Ms Ogden has issued a warning to parents to try and stop the same thing befalling other families.

She said: 'It's something you think will never happen to you. It's something you read in the news or magazines.

'You might not see it as danger but you need to make sure you tie them away from your children. It's not mandatory for them to be checked but it should be.'

Her screams and cries were heard by the neighborhood after she found her child unresponsive and tangled in the cord at her home in Greenacre, Oldham, on January 28.

The mother then got help from a neighbor who desperately tried to resuscitate the child as they waited for the paramedics to rush to the scene.

But the tragedy had already struck and the child could not be saved as he had suffered a cardiac arrest caused by asphyxiation and hypoxic brain injury - which is when the brain does not get enough oxygen. 

He was put into a coma and died days later on February 1 at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

Speaking in February, Ms Ogden said she would never celebrate her birthday again after her and Kane's dad, Callum Davidson, turned off her son's life support machine the day after she turned 23. 

It was a tragic end to what had been a normal day in their house, with Kane playing with his older brother Callum. 

Ms Ogden said she went to the toilet and when she came back she could not here her normally 'very loud' boy. 

'I saw his reflection in the window in the front bedroom,' she told the Manchester Evening News.

'I thought he was playing hide and seek but I moved the curtain and he wasn’t.'

She added she thought her son could have become caught in the blind after climbing up onto the window sill while 'messing about', before slipping.

The grieving mom says that there were no fittings on the wall to tie the blind cords up and after the incident she can never go back to that rented place.

Paying tribute to him, Ms Ogden said: 'Kane made the family. He was really cheeky and happy all the time.

'He was just the happiest little boy you would ever meet. Batman was his favourite. As soon as he smiled, everybody else would.'
