M.L.
I read your other rant, everyone here is giving you very reasonable responses. They are all just as equally concerned as you are and trying to give advice. That's how it works here. Calling people extremely degrading names and cussing them out (which got deleted, thank goodness) due to the answers you received here is a serious lack of good judgment and class on your part.
Like one mom suggested, definitely have a carbon monoxide detector in your home. You can get a baby gate to build up around the heating unit so that your child won't get burnt. Or you can get it replaced by something safer, or possibly a covering, go to your local home builder store like lowe's or home depot to see if they have any solutions.
