Help - need to child proof

Just moved into new home and we need to make this gas fireplace kid friendly. I’d like to just remove the whole base/bottom part and just have it flush to the wall.

The concrete slab is 6ft long about 2.5 inches thick. About 12 inches high. There are some sort of vents slits on the bottom.

Is something like this possible?? Thanks!

Edit: it’s hilarious how some of you are saying “watch your kids, or parent a bit” etc it’s just wild lmao. My wife and I are very active and present with our kids. The home is great and in this smallish tv room has a huge hearth that’s extremely dangerous and you are just saying put up a fence or watch them lol. We’ve had a few close calls already with the youngest just tripping over his feet and while wrestling. Clearly this is the wrong sub for fireplace renovations you are a bunch of fireplace groupies and boomers talking about back in my day lmao - it takes one head shot from this behemoth - thanks for all the parenting tips lmao
