Catching your kids rummaging through the fridge or freezer is not new for many parents. 

Kids are naturally curious, so we expect them to conduct their own expeditions to discover what's behind those big doors. Sometimes, they are lucky and find something sweet, and other times, they enter' no-go' zones. 

The 'no-go' zones leave us panicked because you can never be fully prepared for what may come next. 

When you have smaller kids, childproofing your home is highly recommended. Placing 'no-go' or questionable food items on higher shelves is a good start, but that doesn't guarantee they'll stay out of reach. Kids are naturally curious but they are also determined and surprisingly resourceful. 

A video shared on social media showed a mother discovering her baby sitting on the kitchen floor conducting a taste test with some uncooked boerewors he had found in the freezer. 

He opened the freezer door, took out the boerewors, and started eating it when he was caught 'wors-handed'. 

It seems someone was in the mood for a braai. Luckily, the baby boy is seen removing the raw meat from his mouth and offering it to his mom. Eating raw meat poses significant risks for children.
