Parents were  also warned that giving children razor  blades may also be harmful

Come on. You're making that up. 

 

Next you'll be telling us not to let kids play with guns or knives, or riding on motorcycles with six siblings and four friends, or playing in the streets with Soi dogs.

Really???????? It Is News.... It is news to stupid parents - of which there many. IT IS NEWS in the form of a 'wake up call' for THOSE PARENTS. If it is boring to you go and look at another post. If this story 'woke up' just one parent and saved one child, and even if it didn't, and it wasted a minute of your precious time. I FEEL it was worth the try to alert other parents. 

You'r right it was worth to try to alert other parents but not worth mentioning this "news" in TV.

Sorry you feel that way....

I appreciate ALL the news on TV forum and hope they continue to provide ALL the news..... then WE, the readers, can choose what we like and if something isn't of interest to us/you then skip on to something that is to your fancy.. Please don't take away from the rest of us because of your own personal likes and dislikes....

Did you ever consider that a TV reader might read this story and talk to somebody about it who might just notice a youngster playing with money and prevent the child from swallowing it? Just because it was on TV and passed on to that uneducated parent. Small chance, yes... But it didn't hurt anything posting the story here on TV.

The death in that article that you linked to was a result of the battery lodging in the girls oesophagus!      That's what the article was about, whether you were made yourself aware of it or not.

Well you have to swallow them first for them to become lodged. Some reported cases in Queensland hospitals of children having stomach surgery due to batteries swallowed , leaking in stomach, death in at least two cases.

I didn't say I want it to take away from the rest of you, I just ventilate my opinion. We call this kind of news "cucumber time" in other words lack of real news. I also think one can't educate an uneducated parent by mentioning an article published in TV. Certainly not a Thai parent.

The news always throws up a Thai 'expert' stating the bleedin' obvious. If you put a microphone in front of a Thai, expect forty minutes of verbal diarrhea - check out school assemblies being harangued by unprincipled principals daily.
