I find it unbelievable that one little boy is gone and his brother uncertain. My heart goes out to the family. In the back of my mindgiven the ages of the kids - why where they off by them selves and why were cleaners left down for them to be able to get to. This is so senseless..I hope that many people pay attention and go to the link about chemicals. I also hope that children that are troubled or adventurous do not try the combos they have outlined. Ironically, I have a grandson who is 15 that was over his other Grandmothers house a few weekd ago and when I went in the back door I was liken to be aphyxiated with fumes. He was spraying different cleaners on his sneakers. I threw open the doors and asked if he had lost his mind. when he lived with me I told all about this possibility. No one was paying attention, taking naps which they might not have woke up from, they were lucky it was a big house and the area he had done this in was not in a small house or area. Please, please don't be afraid to speal up, yell whatever if you see anyone or think they may be careless with cleaners or chemicals. You could save the lives of your or someones loved ones......My prayers and tears for the loss of the life of this innocent child.................mamacat8

The ammonia from animals such as cat "litter boxes" when cleaned with chlorine will give the same affect. One evening was cleaning the cat litter box in a bathtub. Had emptied out the litter then proceeded to pour the chlorine to give the box an extra clean. Then a white
cloud rose from the area of the box, and it affected my beathing
passages. It was a severe pain and the immediate solution was to breath fresh air. Cleaning litter containers with chlorine gives the
same affect as a poisonous cloud.
