Like use a cheap brown paper bag and stick the label on that. Cheaper and much less plastic waste. If I wanted a pill bottle, I can buy my own.

    Why would anyone put a pill bottle (or any other dangerous thing) within grabbing range of a small child?

      Relying on a small child to stay on the ground in order to not accidentally kill themselves is a great way to end up with a dead kid.

      Furniture should be anchored to a wall, guns locked in safes with the safety enabled and ammo removed, drugs in child resistant packaging locked in a cabinet, drawers and cabinets secured, etc.

      Kids climb stuff, get into things, find things they shouldn’t, AND they emulate what they see their parents do. Putting something out of reach is nowhere near secure enough.

        You are correct; child care requires a much more complex subject than just put drugs up.

        Locked medicine cabinets don’t stop kids that figure out lock picking. Two year old children figure out child proof packaging. That is why as a parent you actively care for your children and teach them the why and how of the world.
