Im sending my prayers to this family. Too sad. When my children were little, I cut their grapes into little pieces. My kids are now 10 and 11 and I still cut food at times, especially certain steaks. Call me overprotective, but I never want to go through anything this family has suffered.

Yeah, I'm used to seeing parents cut up grapes, too. Even when parents don't think to do it on their own, most pediatricians will tell you to do that as the child is growing teeth

It is a cruel condition to keep the poor child in. No decent person would put an animal through this, never mind a human. There are things worse than death, but unfortunately our society doesn’t recognise this fact.

@@ya00007 It’s obviously a very difficult topic because you will have to draw a line somewhere, but this situation is over that line. In my opinion, it is cruel to artificially prevent a child who is clearly suffering a lot from passing away.

My 10 year old grandson gave his two year old brother a grape while sitting in back while I was driving. He had a lunch able. His young brother was kicking and gasping. I stopped the car and opened the door to help. His older brother reached down his throat with one finger and popped it out. Omg I freaked out . I told him not to ever feed his brother in the car . I told my daughter NO grapes or chunks of cheese. Everything has to be cut fine. 😱

I remember when I was in sixth grade my PE teacher demonstrated how to perform CPR ( a plastic dummy was used ). An educational video was also shown. That was the only time in school when I was taught this. I’m glad I didn’t forget because I had to save myself on 2 or 3 occasions. The lessons I got should be replicated more often in schools.
Sorry 😢

Tbh, Cutting a grape in to quarters or any other bite size morsel that adults eat is somewhat common sense with children. So sad that this poor child will never have quality life 😢
I cant help but notice the boy has a surgery scar on his head before even eating the grape ......could that also contibute to his brain issue.??? I do hope GOD will bless that boy and give him a healing miracle.❤
the recommendation is to cut grapes up to age 5....
As an adult I almost choked on a oreo cookie. I chew it but the powder cut my airway. So be careful with oreo cookies..
Breaks my heart. I have thoughts about this when I watch my nieces & I chop everything up super small for them so scared of this happening
its 4 minutes for noticable brain damage. there can be more subtle issues with less.
Since when did 911 start putting emergency calls on hold?
Always cut grapes and hot dogs. They are the exact size to get lodged in achilds throat.
