Dangers to Children!!!!!
 

ATTENTION!!!!!!!
ATTENTION!!!!!!!

I feel the need to inform everyone of the danger that franks pose to children.

Last Friday May 4, 2001 my little 2yr old cousin died because he choked on a frank that his father fed him. The baby went for 45 minutes without oxygen because EMS could not get it out. It is the saddest thing I have ever witness. His wife(a member of AKA) is distraut as any mother would be.

Please everyone do not feed your babies franks, I beg you. And I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for not warning as many parents as possible.

If it is a necessity please cut it into tiny pieces.

If anyone else knows of any potential dangers to children please share, so we can keep our children safe!!

Shalom OhSoPrettyNikki~

I pray Shalom/Peace over you and your family during this time and season.

Sunflower seeds are a potential danger for children as well as marshmellows if eaten by the handful.

Shalom~

This is truly sad indeed. May God be with you and your family.

Another thing I would recommend keeping from small children is small candy (i.e. mints, small round hard candies, life savers, gummi bears, etc.). They are easy to choke on as well.

I am so sorry to hear about your family's loss, OhSoPretty! Girl! You and your famly will be in my prayers.

Thank you for passing on the warning.

May God keep you and your family in His loving arms!!

You and your family are in my prayers.

peace and blessings...

I also know that toys with any small removable parts, carrots if they aren't cut properly, even spaghetti noodles! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Nikki my prayers go out to you and your family. May God be with you during this time of sadness. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

*****I've missed seeing you around. Hit me up on my email please!*****

OhSoPrettyNikki,


I am so sorry to hear this. I actually heard about this on saturday evening from my mom. She wanted to warn me about this danger also. I believe my family is familiar with the father's side of the family. I couldn't believe the coincidence when I read your post. I was practically in tears when I heard about it. My heart went out to them and still does. My prayers are with you all.

Please everyone, supervise your children as much as possible. It only takes a few seconds for a tragedy to happen.


Peace,
Lilma

The SAME THING happened to the son of a very dear friend of mine about 10 years ago. He was in a coma for about 3 days before they pulled the life support. It was truly a sad time for all that were involved. I pray your strength in the Lord.

Last night on ER Dr. Benton's son Reese (who is deaf) broke his hand when it got slammed in a piano. Cleo was watching him, so that was, of course, mad drama, but another example of making sure your eyes are on the little ones at all times!

Nikki...I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. I will say a prayer for you and your family...may God comfort and keep you.

When I was in 2nd grade I choked on a piece of brach's butterscotch candy (the round ones) I ran a half a block home into my house into my mother she knew I was choking and she did the heimlich(sp) manuever on me and I spit it out. I was scared to death! My mother is a nurse so she knew what to do. You don't have to be a nurse to learn basic cpr/first aid. I would recommend it to everyone. I learned it in high school and then was certified all through college. Haven't been certified for a while..but I remember the basics. If I become pregnant again I plan on me AND my husband taking a course at the local Red Cross.

Keep your kids away from:
Rubber Bands
Small round candies
Coins
Bottle Caps
Grapes
Ballons(leftovers after it has popped)
