rooster59 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Ouch! Infant stabs herself with a "moo ping" stick after parents leave her alone to eat Image: Sanook Social media was sharing a scary picture after an infant girl skewered herself with a stick of BBQ pork. The girl had been left alone by her parents to eat the snack. The stick entered the flesh around her eye socket and had to be carefully removed by doctors at Rayong Hospital. A poster called Ta Am Uthong Uthong said on Facebook that parents should not let young children eat food like this without adequate supervision.

Wilsonandson Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I remember getting my head stuck in a saucepan when I was toddler. Had to go to hospital and get it removed. I think the nurse used margarine. Also my brother who was 5 years at the time drunk a whole tin of braso metal polish. He also went to hospital, stomach pumped and was right as rain the next day. Small kids are difficult to look after and sometimes accidents happen. You can't blame the parents for everything because you can't watch your kids 24/7. Accidents will happen, to most young children. This one is more serious as the child could be blinded for life in one eye. But its not the parents fault. It was just a tragic accident.

trogers Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It must have been a gigantic task to remove the meat from the stick before giving the stick to the infant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that the parents should not have let the child have a sharp object with them , especially when they are using it to eat , its an accident waiting to happen . Its the parents job to realise dangers and protect their child from those dangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally blame the stupid parents for giving an infant a spike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the meat, and the sharp pointy stick would become an obvious danger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see enough detail in the picture to make your statement. In any event it's not OK and, as mentioned by many posters, the parents should have removed the meat from the stick and put the sharp stick out of reach of the child. What I can't find in the story is whether the parents left her alone in their room and went away from the premises, or perhaps the parents were just temporarily for a moment in another room. The child is obviously just a toddler and at this age should be supervised when eating bigger and more solid foods. The parents should have removed the meat and cut it / broken it into much smaller pieces, otherwise there could easily be choking.

That's as maybe, but he probably turned into a shining example of manhood. What surprised me was that he managed to polish off the whole tin.

digibum Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 And yet, not even a mention of who got to eat that last piece of pork. Horrible news coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats56 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I always looked at those sticks as dangerous for children. Even running with one in their hands is cause for concern. Maybe if the vendors clipped the pointy end off after they put the meat on may help. They are sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streetvendors even have lowhanging umbrella's/roofs with pins sticking out at the height of my eyes. Or the trafficsigns with supersharp steel corners at 180cm height... The Thai don't care at all for safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I've always snapped the sharp point before giving the stick to my small boy. Now he's big enough and does it by himself. A couple of times stabbing my tongue while wolfing down the mystery meat made me wiser. Edited December 12, 2016 by DrTuner Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is to expected in the land of "Mai Pen Rai" For a culture whose belief system is based on cause and effect, it appears that no one has the slightest understanding of this concept.
