TV delivery men threatened by S. Weber customer

SOUTH WEBER -- RC Willey delivery men got more than they bargained for when they were unable to hook up the Internet to a television on Tuesday, deputies said.

Unstable televisions can be a risk to small children.

Child's death heightens awareness of TV set dangers

Before heading off to Minnesota more than a week ago, Adam Hadjis leaned over and kissed his 4-year-old daughter goodbye as she slept. It would be the last time he saw her alive.

Gianna was playing by herself over the weekend when a large TV tipped and fell off a table, landing on the little girl's body, according to the family.

"They said her skull was severely crushed, and she had a massive bruise on the bridge of her nose," Hadjis said Monday.

The death comes less than three months after two similar fatalities -- a 3-year-old Chicago girl who had been playing with her brother and a cousin when a TV tipped over, and a 6-year-old boy in Arlington Heights, Ill., who reached for something on top of the screen, causing the TV to fall.
