I don't usually bring over local news like this, but I have some serious questions! Here's the story:
EUGENE, Ore. -- Two-year old Lincoln Weathers of Springfield was pronounced dead at the hospital after being rushed from a house where the sheriff's office thinks the boy choked on something.
The house is the same place where a 2-year-old boy was injured in a fall and later died in July 2008 while being cared for in a daycare operation, the sheriff's office confirmed to KVAL News.
Sheriff deputies said Weathers was being cared for by 29-year old Janna Bauman. In a 911 call Bauman reported that Weathers was choking.
The incident is under investigation by the Lane County Sheriff's Office and the Medical Examiner's section of the District Attorney's office. <snipped> Much more at link.
IIRC, licensed sitters must take safety classes, so why couldn't she help a choking child? And why didn't she have a phone to call 911???
As for the previous child who died in her care, how can a child die from falling from a tricycle?
This is bugging me...
