    I honesty had to do a double take after seeing a photo of Beyonce in a hot tub -- along with her baby girl, Blue Ivy. My first reaction was something along the lines of, "Is that really a hot tub and not just some bubbling pool? Why on earth would any mom let their baby go in a hot tub? That just isn't safe!"

    But apparently a hot tub is exactly what they are pictured cuddling in. Now, understandably, Beyonce is receiving quite a bit of criticism for choosing to bring her precious little girl into an environment that most people don't consider safe for babies.

    I'm sure she's a wonderful mom and would never put Blue Ivy in harm's way on purpose -- but taking her into a hot tub? Really?

    Another day, another frivolous lawsuit. Only the mom suing the Fox News Channel for airing footage of her husband's suicide that upset her children doesn't come across as your average money-hungry American. She sounds like a woman who is having a rough time, a mom who is protecting her kids.

    Sadly, suing a TV news channel is too little, too late. Because JoDon Romero's kids didn't see his suicide on a television at all.

    Wow -- a 5-year-old little girl in Ohio is being hailed a hero this week after saving her Dad's life when she found him unconscious on the bathroom floor in their home.

    Little Kaelyn Evans was home with her two younger siblings when her dad, Anthony, started feeling sick -- and ultimately wound up blacking out. Kaelyn found her dad collapsed on the floor, and the poor little thing knew something was very, very wrong -- and even admits that she thought he was going to die. (Can you imagine how scared she must have been?)

    But instead of panicking, she took action, making a move that was so simple but turned out to be a matter of life and death for her dad.

    There's nothing like a baby product recall to strike fear in the hearts of parents, and the latest comes on the heels of tragedy. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is working to pull all Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill infant recliners and covers off the market after more than 90 incidents involving the baby beds. According to the federal agency, a total of five infant deaths have been linked to the Nap Nanny.

    Has your baby been sleeping in one of these? Here's what you need to know to keep your infant safe:

    Everybody thinks they are a much better driver than everybody else on the road ... but most of us make our share of mistakes, from glancing at texts to changing lanes without signaling. But, as summer travel season kicks into gear, it's all the more important to be the best driver you can be to keep you, your kids, and everybody else's kids safe on the road.

    1) Don't drive distracted. You'd never dream of driving drunk or high, putting your kids in the car without a safe car seat, or even speeding. But most of us make the ultimate dangerous mistake: letting our attention wander from the task of piloting two tons of glass and steel carrying our most precious loved ones.

    It's the most rewarding "job" we could ever have, but sometimes this mom gig is downright hard and also a little scary. I mean, don't you get a little overwhelmed sometimes by all the things we have to do to ensure that our kids grow up healthy, happy, and safe?

    And I'm not even talking about big things, necessarily. Keeping our children protected applies to something as seemingly insignificant as making sure to put sunscreen on them every day. It's an easy thing to forget to do, but considering we could possibly contribute to our kids getting skin cancer down the road, we have to make it a point to squeeze those extra few minutes into our already busy routines.

    We may not even realize we're doing them, but there are quite a few other safety "rituals" moms implement -- some of them on a daily basis, to keep our little ones safe and sound.

    Most of us can't imagine turning our back on a domestic violence victim and her kids who were in desperate need of help. But not everyone is so empathetic. Carie Charlesworth, a sixth-grade private school teacher, was fired because her ex-husband was "too dangerous." Not only did she lose her job -- and her only means of supporting her family -- her four kids (all students at the school) were kicked out as well. Was this really the right thing to do?

    Whoa! Doesn't it blow your mind when kids turn out to be tiny heroes in very serious situations? Then just wait until you hear about a 6-year-old who saved his family from a fire after waking up in the middle of the night and smelling smoke in his Florida home.

    Tyler Taylor could've easily panicked when he realized that a fire had broken out, but instead, he calmly woke up his great-grandmother to alert her -- and she and his other family members managed to escape through the back door of the house.

    And you can only imagine how scared that little boy must have been, which is why what he did next will absolutely amaze you.

    For many parents, the idea of their 17-year-old daughter getting a tattoo is a true Tattoo Nightmare. But Kristina, star of Spike TV's Tattoo Nightmares, has parents who actually took it one step further than saying no. Not only did they sign the consent form, they paid for the tattoo artist to purposely flub up the tattoo to prevent her from wanting any more.

    Say what?

    Yes, her parents paid the tattoo artist double to make her experience so awful ("as ugly and as painful as possible") she would be "discouraged from wanting any more." This is just sick on so many levels. See below:

    If you have a child who has been begging to get a Facebook page, have you checked to see if they've done it already? A mom who forbade her 11-year-old daughter from signing up for the site just went through one heck of an ordeal because the girl did it anyway ... and ended up in the crosshairs of a 23-year-old sex offender! Thank goodness the little girl has a mom who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty when her child's safety is on the line.
