50 Needles Found in 2-year-old; Mom Says She Had No Idea

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8416667.stm


A Brazilian toddler has up to 50 sewing needles inside him, which doctors suspect were deliberately inserted.

The two-year-old boy was taken to hospital by his mother. X-rays revealed the needles, including one in his lung.

His mother said she did not know how the needles, some 2in (5cm) long, got inside him. Police are investigating.

A doctor said it was unlikely the boy had swallowed them. Most of them will be removed, but not the ones inside organs as that could cause more damage.

Dr Luiz Cesar Soltoski told Associated Press news agency: "We think it could have only been by penetration because we found needles in the lung, the left leg and in different parts of the thorax.

"It couldn't have been by ingestion."

The boy was taken to a hospital in the small north-eastern city of Ibotirama, before being transferred to a larger hospital in Barreiras, in the state of Bahia.

He is in intensive care.

There were no signs of wounds on the boy, doctors said.

I swear to you, my mother is not a bad mom!

While she was talking on the phone, I climbed out of my crib and walked into the kitchen. My Mom had about ten bottles of nail polish open on the counter, and I dumped it all on myself.

It took four bottles of nail polish removal, and a L....O....N....G bath to get it all off.
