Is it just me or has the world gone mad?

I agree with you about the first story - why on earth didn't the mother ring for an ambulance?

I sometimes worry about the mentality of these people - it wouldn't surprise me if the mother had been on here asking "Where can I get my child's illness diagnosed and treated online?"

Whatever happened to common sense?

Well read the bloody thing!!! The second one says that as the mother was holding her other son for an injection when the toddler leaned into a cupboard and put a needle in his mouth, unless she can see through cupboard doors, there was nothing she could do.

I've heard much worse similar stories. In this case, the cupboard should have probably been locked and (if it was in a sharps box) the box should have been securely closed, but as I say there have been much worse cases. This was a little bit of carelessness mixed in with bad luck and the fact that toddlers will be toddlers and do dangerous things.

I think it is 2 cases of bad parenting...and yes the world is also going mad, it's been down hill for a while now. Kids are not taught discipline because parents try to make deals with their kids instead of take authority.

You are quite correct in your statement.

The world has indeed gone mad, and unfortunately England seems to be leading the way.

its all gone
