1. It's Yahoo news. Their quality control is about as good as Fox news.
2. There are so many blatant incorrect statements that the whole article is laughable.
3. Judging from the comments, USARK doesn't need to do anything directly to address the article. They've got bigger fish to fry, and frankly their time is wasted on something that not even the Yahoo readership is happy with.

I believe this is the CDC survey referenced in the article. It do make a case for keeping turtles away from small children while unsupervised.

I kind of feel like that's common sense. You should keep everything away from small children when they are unsupervised. In fact, I really don't think small children should be unsupervised under any circumstances.
