"It's such a sad tragedy to have something like this happen," says Trempealeau County Coroner Bonnie Kindschy.

Last year, Trempealeau lost two little ones in tragic accidents. In one, an alleged drunk driver hit and killed a 5-year-old boy while he was sledding. In the other, a one-year-old boy drowned in his family's pool.

And its cases like these that Kindschy says the Trempealeau County death review team are trying to understand.

"What we do is, after there's a death, we go through that with everybody's information, we get together and all the information that we've got," Kindschy says.

The team is made up of representatives from the sheriff's department, the health department, the district attorney's office, social services, the county coroner and pediatrician Dr. Joanne Selkurt.

"You know accidents don't have to happen. What's the thing that's sitting behind it," Dr. Selkurt says.

The team is all volunteer, but it did just receive a $5,000 grant from Child Health Alliance of Wisconsin. Kindschy says they plan to use the money on educational tools.

"We talked about doing educational place mats, billboards, getting fliers out to daycare centers, things like that," she says.

Kindschy says the team is also looking at conducting seminars and she says they're working closely with students.

"The prom deaths that we always see and the homecoming deaths that we always see. We want to educate the people so that we can prevent these deaths," she says.

And even though the group realizes some things just can't be prevented, the members say they're going to work hard to make sure at least one more life is saved.

"It sometimes is a wrong place, wrong time type of situation. But you try to look at those situations and decide what could have been done differently in that setting," Dr. Selkurt says.

The child death review team is designed to look at child deaths as young as infants, all the way up to 18-year-olds.
