[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were meatballs served to preschoolers?![/quote]

A three year should be capable of eating a meatball.  I'm wondering if maybe there was a bone in the meat?  Regardless, so heartbreaking.

Blaming the child for choking to death. What a lovely person you must be.[/quote]

Np. How on earth was pp blaming the preschooler??!

They are right - three year olds should be capable of eating regular meatballs. If there was a bone, or something else in it, that does not mean the child is to "blame" - but maybe a manufacturing problem? Or just sometimes, really terrible circumstances where stars align in a terrible, unfortunate way? Tragic no matter what, and I hope there is a thorough investigation. But your raging on pp is unfounded. [/quote]

I would think that a "party size" meatball, if that's what was served, would absolutely be on par with a whole grape or chunk of hot dog in terms of being a choking hazard for a child that age.

Regardless, on a thread about the choking death of a child, to remark that "a three year old should be capable of eating a meatball" sounds pretty fucking callous to me.[/quote]

The comment about a three-year-old being able to eat a meatball was in reply to one of the first comments asking why preschoolers were being served meatballs. I don't think anybody is blaming the child at all.  I think they are Just saying that it is a typical food that can safely be served to that age group. [/quot

Yes, isn't spaghetti  & meatballs a staple of many kids'menus? I don't think it is unusual at all to feed a 3-year-old meatbalms.Whether or not there was something (texture?shape/size ?)  about the particular meatballs in question that causes the child to choke or if there was some unknown physical issue that would have likely caused him to choke on most foods , however, remains to be seen.
