7 year old who choked on her school lunch dies after three days on life support


A seven-year-old girl who choked on her school lunch in Brooklyn has died.
Noelia Echavarria ended up on life support for three days after the incident which happened at her school. 
The family's attorney confirmed that the little girl died at 8:39 p.m. on Friday.

'My niece came out of the lunchroom eating a sandwich. They say she was choking. She was holding her throat,' said Carlos Santiago, Noelia-Lisa's uncle to ABC7.
'I want the school really, really come and give me the answer. And I want them to tell me the reason they let my daughter, be like that in the hospital, and nobody coming to tell me,' said the girl's mother Ana Santiago'.
Meanwhile, the EMT who attended the emergency call has been suspended from his job because it is against company policy to make a stop without being called. 
 
Assist Ambulance worker Qwasi Reid was transporting a nursing home patient last Wednesday with his partner when they were flagged down at a red light by a distraught man.
 
Reid told Fox News that his partner told the man they already had a patient and there was nothing they could do. 
 
Reid said he knew that a choking girl was more urgent than transport of an elderly person so he decided to step in and try to save the girl's life.
Reid jumped out of the back door of the ambulance and started administering first aid.  
 
He said he immediately cleared out the little girl's mouth, put an oxygen mask on her, used a defibrillator and started CPR.
'She was blue in the face and lips. No response. Unconscious unresponsive,' Reid said.
Sadly by the time Reid began helping the girl she had already turned blue since no one at the school tried to help her before he arrived.
Reid, who has been suspended from his job without pay for stopping to help the girl, says given the opportunity he would have made the same decision all over again.
'I don't regret it,' Reid said. 'I'd do it again. If I know there's a child choking, I'm going to do my best to help her,' he added.
Reid said Assist Ambulance suspension of his proves that the organization is more concerned about insurance money than they are the well being of people in need.
 
It remains unclear what the first grader choked on or why she had turned blue by the time medics arrived. 
 
The principal of the school denied claims that the staff didn't do enough to help the child.
'Speaking on behalf of the teachers and staff of P.S. 250,' Principal RoseAnn LaCioppa wrote in a letter to parents of the school, 'I want to reassure you that our school personnel has been trained in response to emergencies and we will always follow all protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of all our students.'
The family's attorney David Perecman has several questions surrounding the choking incident.
'I'm troubled about the amount of time, it took to call 911,' Perecman said.
'With the little information we have, it appears there was a 911 phone call at about 2:30. But that's the same time that the EMT called 911. And if that's the case, that means he's the first person to call 911. And if he's the first person to call 911, then the school did not.'
'I'm trying to find answers, but nobody is giving me one,' said Noel Santiago, Noelia-Lisa's grandfather. 

Mum whose two-year-old daughter has months to live starts campaign to give her a magical last Christmas



Amelia Morris
A mum whose two-year-old daughter only has months to live has launched a fundraising campaign to give her a magical last Christmas.
Little Amelia Morris, who is nearly three, has Tay Sachs disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive damage to the nervous system.
Her mum Whitney Morris, 21, from Wigan, has launched a campaign on gofundme so she can transform her home into a Christmas wonderland decked out in hundreds of lights.

The mum-of-two told Manchester Evening News : “The last time we spoke to a doctor they said Amelia only had a few months left.
“We thought of what she loves doing and she loves lights and music. I want to light up the whole house for her.
“We’ve asked a hospice for some charity buckets and we’ll have them outside if people want to make a donation.”
Whitney said she and her husband Jonathan Morris were ‘in pieces’ when they found out the devastating news and that Christmas would be ‘bitter sweet’ this year.

She said: “We found out when she was about nine months old. We were in pieces. Amelia suffers from seizures, her eye sight is bad and she isn’t very mobile.
“We’re in and out of hospital with her all of the time. My husband had to quit work so we could be with Amelia.
“We just want to raise awareness about our campaign and also about the disease.”
Whitney said Amelia’s little sister Emily, who is only one, can see that her sister is not well.
She said: “Emily can see that her big sister can’t play with other children. She knows something is wrong.
“But Amelia doesn’t really know what’s going on, she can’t understand.”
The family’s campaign has so far raised £915 out of £1,000 target in eight days.
The Cats Foundation (Cure & Action for Tay-Sachs) have been in touch with the family providing care and support.
Daniel Lewi and his wife Patricia founded the charity when their six-year-old daughter Amelie was diagnosed with the condition.
Mr Lewi said:“As a charity we have a family support officer who visits the children, as they’re too sick to travel.
“We’ve had a lot of contact with Amelia and her family, it’s a really great campaign that they’re doing to give her the best Christmas.
“People have been extremely generous.”

Governor Obiano calls on FG to save the Onitsha-Enugu expressway from erosion

Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has called on the federal government to save the Onitsha-Enugu Expressway from caving into gully erosion that has affected parts of the newly constructed flyover along New Parts market, Nkpor, Idemili North council area.

The Governor made the call, yesterday, October 29, while inspecting the havoc being wreaked by the erosion on the road.
He disclosed that he has contacted the President after inspecting the site recently, mandated IDC construction firm to mobilize to site and start palliative work, to save the road.

He stated that the federal government owes the state an outstanding twenty-five billion naira spent on the reconstruction of federal roads in the state, a reason why it must get permission from the federal government before embarking on palliative work on the site.

The Governor made it clear that the state alone cannot undertake the erosion project which will run into billions of naira, and advised the citizenry to bear with the state while it pressurizes the federal government to come to its aid.

Feminist writer says Caitlyn Jenner and other transgender women are not women




Germaine Greer, the second-wave feminist best known for her 1970 book The Female Eunuch, accused Caitlyn Jenner of “stealing the limelight” from the other women of the Kardashian clan in an appearance on BBC2’s Newsnight.
During the interview, Greer said that “misogyny played a big part” in Glamour magazine’s decision to award Jenner their woman of the year award.
She also defended previous statements in which she claimed that trans women were not “real women.” via The Guardian;
“She also refused to back down from her position that transgender women, who have begun life as men before undergoing surgery and hormone treatment to become women, are ‘not women,’ saying they do not ‘look like, sound like or behave like women’.”
Greer’s statements prompted a petition circulated by Cardiff University students. The petition, aimed at having Greer barred from giving a speech on campus, was started by Rachael Melhuish, women’s officer at the Cardiff University Students’ Union. It claims that Greer has“demonstrated time and time again her misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually ‘misgendering’ trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether.”

By Saturday, the petition had more than 800 signatures.

In response to the petition, Greer told The Guardian:
“I don’t really know what I think of it. It strikes me as a bit of a put-up job really because I am not even going to talk about the issue that they are on about.
What they are saying is that because I don’t think surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere.”
Despite both controversy and petition, Cardiff University said that it would not cancel Greer’s speech. “Our events include speakers with a range of views, all of which are rigorously challenged and debated,” a university spokesperson said in a statement to the New York Times.

Greer’s comments on trans women very much echo Elinor Burkett’s controversial New York Times article, “What Makes a Woman.” The two seem to share a kind of gender essentialism in which biology, and the experiences that often result from that biology, determine gender identities. It’s a weird and inconsistent perspective, particularly for second-wave feminists like Greer, whose ideologies are ostensibly underpinned by deconstructing the very idea of fixed and never-shifting gender.

Amaechi's thanksgiving in Port Harcourt

Photos from Amaechi's thanksgiving in Port Harcourt

Rotimi Amaechi the immediate past governor of Rivers state, had a thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt yesterday to celebrate the 8th year of the supreme court ruling that made him governor of the state on October 25th 2007.

During the service which was attended by APC leaders in the state including the APC governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, Amaechi accused the state governor, Nyesom Wike of borrowing N45 billion loan which he cannot account for.
“I borrowed N300bn and I paid N245bn back and I left about N15bn. But now, they are not borrowing to pay contractors. Rather they are borrowing for themselves. Borrow to pay contractors not for your purse. They have borrowed N45bn and nobody is seeing it. If you put N45bn in the state economy, the state will be bouncing. They will employ more workers, pay them and you will see things working. It is those roads that I have done that they are driving on. The stadium road was done by me and they are driving on it. I did underground gutter, but they are building gutter and covering it" he said.



Police comb Lagos, Abuja for Boko Haram members



A Joint Task Force team comprising the personnel of the police, Department of State Services, the military and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has been combing the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and other towns for Boko Haram suspects and their sponsors.
It was learnt that the Task Force, which was set up by the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, had been mandated to carry out massive operations against the sect members who were suspected to have infiltrated different parts of the country.
The DSS had on Friday, arraigned in court, about 45 terror suspects who were arrested for plotting to bomb Dolphin Estate in Lagos. The suspects were subsequently remanded in KiriKiri prisons by an Isolo Magistrate Court.
As part of the operation to apprehend fleeing terror suspects, the Task Force last Wednesday, raided a black spot at Nyanya, a satellite town in the FCT, where it arrested about 30 suspects.
Nyanya and Kuje, FCT recorded twin bomb blasts on October 2, 2015, in which about 20 people lost their lives and many others were injured.
Our correspondent gathered that the Task Force was ‘processing the suspects’ after which identified terrorists among them would be made to face the law.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole, told our correspondent on Saturday that the Task Force was set up to go after fleeing Boko Haram insurgents, adding that the team has been carrying out operations in different parts of the country.
She cited the operation at Nyanya operation as one of the activities of the team, adding that it was based on intelligence reports.
Kolawole explained that the operation was part of strategies to prevent the committing of crime by criminal elements in the FCT, adding that the raid to apprehend terrorists would continue nationwide.
“The Task Force was set up by the IG to go after fleeing Boko Haram members and their sympathisers and supporters wherever they may be found. The team has started working and its operations are yielding fruits already as they have been able to apprehend some criminal elements who are being processed, as we speak,” she stated.
She added that the IG had also set up a special intelligence team tasked with getting intelligence and information on terror plots in the country.
It was learnt that the intelligence team successfully arrested the masterminds of the Nyanya and Kuje bombings, five of whom were picked up in different parts of the FCT in Iddo village and Karamajiji, along Airport Road, and Gaulaka area in Suleja, Niger State.
The suspects—Abdulazeez Muhazab, Ishaka Salihu, Mohammed Jimoh, Abdulwaheed Nasiru and Abdullahi Nasiru were arraigned at the Federal High Court, Abuja last Thursday on five-count charges bordering on terrorism, conspiracy, accessory to acts of terrorism and act preparatory to an act of terrorism.
One of them pleaded guilty to terrorism.

35 year old Mum terrified of her own 9 year old child who violently attacks



When 35 year old Chloe Peck collects her 9 year old daughter from school she is filled with a dread which sometimes makes her want to walk past the gates without stopping.
Because when she meets Macey, nine, the single mum has no idea if she will be faced with her well-behaved, ­affectionate child – or the violent ­“nightmare” who regularly causes her physical injury.
Two years ago, Macey developed a habit of flying into uncontrollable rages and she will now lash out on a daily basis – screaming, beating and throwing any available object at her mother.

Desperate Chloe, who often resorts to hiding in her room, has asked authorities for help for herself and Macey – yet her pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
Macey’s school has twice ­contacted social services but she has been rejected for treatment as her behaviour was not considered to be at “crisis point”.
Chloe said:
“I would just love for ­someone to listen and get her assessed. Do I have to end up in hospital to get support? One minute she’s adorable, the next a monster – it’s Jekyll and Hyde.
“She’ll get so angry and ­violent, ­hitting, kicking or throwing any object in sight at me and then it’ll be like a comedown.
“She’ll get down and start apologising, telling me she loves me and she’s sorry. “I feel guilty because although she’s remorseful I’m so upset I can’t comfort her. I just want her to go away.

Chloe told how she and her other children live in fear of Macey, not knowing when her next fit of rage will come.
She said:
“In the past week, ­rather than me hiding in my room we have fitted metal bolts on the kitchen door so that if she goes into a fit of rage we can put her out in the hallway to calm down.
“Family and friends are shocked when I say what’s happened. Macey tends to ­behave the way she does when it is just us in the house – not around strangers or other people.
“But they know it’s true. Obviously my other kids witness it and they’d never doubt me ­anyway. The school knows I’m at breaking point, which is why it stepped in. But she doesn’t kick off at school, she’s more clingy with the teachers.

“It’s just me she attacks at home – and her siblings if they try to intervene. I’m 5ft 6in, she comes up to my ­shoulders. Half the reason I try to put space between us when she’s in a rage is I’m worried I might lose control and hit back.”
The distraught teaching ­assistant,added:
“I feel guilty, like I’m failing her as a mother, but my friends and family remind me my other children do not have anger problems. The thing is, she is lovely when she is not in a rage. You would never know. People don’t believe me when I say because she is such a lovely girl.”
Chloe recalled how Macey was a “sweet, quiet girl” growing up, who enjoyed dancing, ­swimming and playing by herself.
She said: “I was always very protective of her as I had problems in pregnancy and she was five weeks premature.
“I didn’t even get to hold her, she was rushed to the antenatal unit for a week before I could take her home. She had a few health problems she still has today – a lazy left eye and a ­connective tissue disorder – which means she has problems with her joints but it could develop and attack her organs.
“The condition’s problems don’t tend to show until they’re in late teens. She has to be checked every six months at the hospital to monitor it.”
But Chloe, who has three other children – Cienna, six, Lilani, 12, and Kian, 15, with Macey’s dad – has been unable to control her daughter’s ­behaviour for two years.
She said: “It started in the school ­holidays a few years ago. There was no reason I can think of that triggered it. Overnight, she went from this sweet, happy, docile child to this monster. “I told her ‘no’ to something trivial and she just flipped – started slapping my legs and screaming. It caused such a ­commotion that my neighbour asked if I was OK.”

Chloe explained that Macey’s behaviour and anger problems have spiralled out of control from that moment. There is also a pattern to her behaviour.
“It’s always when I tell her she can’t have or do something. It’s never over anything serious, just standard stuff that mums tell their kids they can’t do. It’s like she wants to control me.”
Macey’s rages, which typically last two hours, can happen up to three times a day. But in January things took a ­terrifying turn for the worse.
Chloe said:
“I was at the kitchen table in my dressing gown and I said ‘no’ over something. She grabbed the hood and pulled it over my head to ­strangle me. I was screaming, ­struggling to breathe.”
Fortunately, Macey’s brother stepped in and ­restrained her. Chloe said:
“He was furious with her, telling her she can’t do that to her mum. He seems to be the only one who can calm her down.”
A few weeks later, Macey beat her mum round the head until she fell to the ground in tears.
“I had to pick myself up and hide in my room. It was horrible”
Since then, it has escalated uncontrollably, with Chloe unable to do anything except let Macey burn herself out.
She added: “Nothing will calm her down – she wears herself out, basically.”
Macey’s school tried to help by contacting social services , ­recommending Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services. But she has been rejected twice and Chloe will now accept any help she can get.
She added: “We keep getting rejected. They say no in a letter. I’ve been left in the dark and it’s frustrating.”

The Latest: 542 people rescued in 24 hours off Greece

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The latest developments as hundreds of thousands of people seeking safety make an epic trek through Europe. All times local.
___
9:40 a.m.
Greece’s coast guard says it has rescued 542 people in 12 search and rescue incidents from Thursday morning to Friday morning.
The rescues occurred off the coasts of the eastern Aegean islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Agathonissi and Farmakonissi, the coast guard said.
Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in their homelands have reached Greece so far this year, the vast majority on rickety boats or cheap inflatable dinghies from the nearby Turkish coast. Although a short sea journey, it can be fatal as the unseaworthy and overloaded boats sometimes sink.
Very few of those arriving in Greece want to stay in the financially stricken country, instead moving north through the Balkans to more prosperous European Union countries such as Germany, Austria and Sweden.
___
9:30 a.m.
Greece’s coast guard says a wooden boat carrying a large number of refugees or other migrants has run aground on the small eastern Aegean island of Leros, while an infant died after the inflatable dinghy he was in partially sank off the coast of Lesbos island.
The wooden boat, carrying about 100 people, ran aground Friday on the northeast coast of Leros, the coast guard said. Those on board were being taken to shore by coast guard and private vessels that arrived to help.
In the Lesbos incident, the coast guard rescued 56 people from the sea Thursday night after the rear part of their dinghy burst, partially sinking the boat. A 1-year-old boy was recovered unconscious and transported to a hospital, but rescuers were unable to revive him.
