[quote=Anonymous]When the metal straw thing first happened, I had a kid who really needed a straw cup due to pretty severe motor difficulties that made an open cup hard. Like many families of kids with severe physical disabilities, i got flack for bringing my own plastic straws, but a metal straw isn't safe for a kid who is immunocompromised like mine was (they don't clean perfectly) or a kid with CP who may have fluctuating tone, or a kid with seizures which are more common in kids with severe physical disabilities, or for other reasons. This seems like a freak accident, and maybe typically developing kids sitting at a table are safe, but i see kids walking around with metal straws, or riding in cars. Those things are very bad ideas.
