Omg! Car Crushes Baby to Death While Mom was Busy Playing with Her Phone

A mother has been left with painful guilt after her carelessness led to the daughter's death while she was busy playing with her phone.

The mother was busy playing with her phone as a car crushed the daughter to death

 

Here is a timely warning from China to mothers and everyone obsessed with the phone, while parenting, driving, or walking. A two year-old girl has died in Beijing, crushed by a car as her mother left her on the road to wander, while she was busy checking her phone. 

 

A 2-minute video clip, widely shared in Chinese social media, captured the horrific scene: the girl first of all being hit and then crushed by the car. When the accident took place, the girl was walking alone ahead of her phone-engrossed mother. The girl didn’t survive.

 

The incident has once again reinforced warnings to parents and all phone owners  over obsession with the smartphones and neglect of parenting.

 

Police investigation said that the girl walked into the driver’s blind zone.

 

Chinese netizens expressed their anger over the mother, saying that she should have kept an eye on her child.

“If the mobile phone was so much fun, then why had you given birth to the child?” asked web user“Xiaodingdangmaimaijimiqiu”.

“It is a bloody lesson. Everyone should be alerted not to play with a smartphone while walking. God knows how regretful the mother is,” a netizen in the username of “freeermiao” wrote on China’s twitter-like microblog Weibo.

 

The accident was not the first.

 

In April this year, a two-year-old boy ran into the centre of a road while his mother was mesmerized by her mobile phone in east China’s Anhui province.

 

The boy was hit by a car and died. In August last year, a similar tragedy happened in central China’s Henan province when a boy was hit by a car in a parking zone. His mother was checking phone somewhere else when the boy was knocked down.

 

Parents have been urged to curb their smartphone addiction.

 

In China, more than five in 10 adults own a smartphone. Over half of the people questioned in a poll conducted by Deloitte check mobile phone for 1 or 2 times per hour, and one fourth of the interviewees check their mobiles for over 50 times a day.

 

Child Accident Prevention Trust, a UK children’s charity, has warned that parents obsessed in their mobile phones are putting their children in danger of serious accidents.

 

Almost a quarter of parents were engrossed in their devices when their children suffered an accident or had a near miss, according to a new research it released.

Unbelievable! Meet the Baby Who Was Born Two Times (Photo)

In what will come across as an unbelievable development and yet a miraculous work of modern technology, a baby has been born twice.

 

Margaret Boemer went for a routine ultrasound 16 weeks into her pregnancy with her third child. She quickly found out that things were far from routine.

 

"They saw something on the scan, and the doctor came in and told us that there was something seriously wrong with our baby and that she had a sacrococcygeal teratoma," the Plano, Texas, mom said in an interview shared by Texas Children's Hospital. "And it was very shocking and scary, because we didn't know what that long word meant or what diagnosis that would bring."

 

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a tumor that develops before birth and grows from a baby's coccyx, the tailbone.

 

"This is the most common tumor we see in a newborn," said Dr. Darrell Cass, co-director of Texas Children's Fetal Center and associate professor of surgery, pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College Medicine."Even though it's the most common we see, it's still pretty rare."

 

Found more often in girls than boys, this tumor occurs in one out of every 35,000 births.

 

Unfortunately, this was not the first bad news of Boemer's pregnancy. Originally, she had been pregnant with twins, but lost one of the babies before her second trimester.

 

It was a shock at 16 weeks to learn of her daughter's rare birth defect.

 

"Some of these tumors can be very well-tolerated, so the fetus has it and can get born with it and we can take it out after the baby's born," said Cass. "But about half of the time, they cause problems for the fetus and it's usually causing problems because of a blood flow problem."

 

Cass explained that the tumor is trying to grow by sucking blood flow from the baby, yet the baby is also trying to grow, too "so it becomes a competition."

 

"And in some instances, the tumor wins and the heart just can't keep up and the heart goes into failure and the baby dies," said Cass.

 

With a large tumor stealing the blood supply, Boemer's fetus was becoming more ill each day, doctors explained to the expectant mother. Something had to be done.

 

Although other doctors had advised her to terminate the pregnancy, Cass and his team told her about another possibility: fetal surgery. This option, though, would not be an easy road. Even worse, her baby's chances of survival would be grim.

 

"LynLee didn't have much of a chance," Boemer said. "At 23 weeks, the tumor was shutting her heart down and causing her to go into cardiac failure, so it was a choice of allowing the tumor to take over her body or giving her a chance at life.

"It was an easy decision for us: We wanted to give her life."

 

'Kind of a miracle'

 

She was 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant, when Cass performed the emergency fetal surgery. By this time, the tumor was nearly larger than the fetus.

 

Cass and Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, his partner surgeon, operated for about five hours.

 

"The part on the fetus we do very, very quickly," said Cass. "It's only 20 minutes or so on the actual fetus." Most of the time is spent opening the uterus, which he described as "a big muscle lined with membranes."

 

"We don't want the mom's health to be jeopardized," said Cass, who explained they work carefully, both making the incision and sewing it up in order "to make that uterus be as sealed and as water tight as possible."

 

Still, Cass said, the tumor in this case was so large a "huge" incision was needed to get to it, so it ended up that the baby was "hanging out in the air... Essentially, the fetus is outside, like completely out, all the amniotic fluid falls out, it's actually fairly dramatic," said Cass.

 

During the surgery, LynLee's heart slowed down to an incredibly low rate. "It basically stopped," said Cass. He credits the heart specialist, a key member of the team, for giving the right medication and transfusing the right amount of fluid, allowing the surgeons to continue their work.

 

The surgical team removed the bulk of the tumor. When they finished their operation, the surgeons placed LynLee back inside the womb and sewed her mother's uterus shut.

 

"It's kind of a miracle you're able to open the uterus like that and seal it all back and the whole thing works," said Cass.

 

'Worth every pain'

 

Boemer was on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy. Despite her pain, she marshaled her strength and made it another 12 weeks to nearly 36 weeks -- full term -- when Lynlee Hope was born for the second time via C-section on June 6.

 

The little fighter, named for both her grandmothers, weighed 5 pounds and 5 ounces.

 

Immediately, the hospital staff whisked the newborn away to the neonatal intensive care unit for an evaluation, but after this initial checkup, she was deemed healthy and transferred to the nursery.

 

There's a risk the fetus could be born immediately after the in utero surgery, or die.

 

After she was born, LynLee faced one more ordeal: removing the bits of tumor that surgeons could not reach, which had begun to grow again.

 

"At eight days old, she had more surgery, and they were able to remove the rest of the tumor," explained Boemer.

 

LynLee recovered in the NICU and weeks later, arrived in her family home.

 

"Baby Boemer is still an infant but is doing beautiful," said Cass, remarking that she is perfectly healthy. His one previous surgery of this kind was also a success. "I think she's about 7 now, and she sings karaoke to Taylor swift -- she's completely normal," said Cass.

 

While babies facing surgery undoubtedly struggle, mothers' emotional journeys might be most difficult and dramatic. As Cass describes it, first their obstetrician tells them there's something wrong and then they're told there's nothing that can be done and their babies will die and then a surgeon tells them there's something that can be done. Amazingly, some end with a healthy baby.

 

"It was very difficult," Boemer said.

 

But seeing her toddler smiling with her sisters, she added: "It was worth every pain."

A senior officer said: ‘The girl was bleeding profusely. Doctors at the hospital have said that her condition is serious.

After discovering an abandoned mobile phone near the child, officers were able to trace it back to the suspect.

He added: ‘The police team was helped by the recovery of the mobile phone to track the location of the accused. We traced him to the labour camp.’

Police say the accused man lived with other workers in the building and that he admitted that he took the child around 10pm.

The officer said: ‘He said he then took her to the bushes beside a drain and raped her for nearly two hours.’

The man has now been charged with rape under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of the POCSO Act and is being held at Tihar Jail.

The child’s father later told police: ‘I was horrified to see my daughter’s condition. Her clothes were torn and she had nail marks all over the body. The severe injuries might have a lifelong impact on her health.’.

He said: “My team, the entire Imo State Police Command, will not rest on its oars to ensure that criminal offenses are brought to its barest minimum in the state. “It is so unfortunate that such barbaric behaviour still exists amongst our people.

Dr. Ahmed al-Rudaini, a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Health, said the 11 infants who died were being treated at a ward for premature babies at Yarmouk Hospital, in western Baghdad.

More than 25 people, babies and women, suffered burns or smoke inhalation and were evacuated to other hospitals. Several of the mothers were awaiting cesarean sections.

Man caught molesting a 3 years old baby

An Ohio man has been arrested on sexual assault charges after a woman allegedly caught him raping a 3-year-old girl inside an abandoned garage.

Charles Sadler, 34, of Columbus, was taken into custody Friday in connection to the alleged assault.

According to police, a woman was driving in west Columbus when she heard a scream and saw a man, later identified as Sadler, raping a little girl in the 300 block of South Richardson Avenue.

The Good Samaritan, who has children of her own, called 911 and followed Sadler for several blocks until officers responded to the scene and arrested him.

Sadler's family told WSYX they thought the 34-year-old was 'passed out drunk somewhere' at the time of the incident.

He is currently being held in the Franklin County Jail on $200,000 bond.

The alleged victim’s mother took to Facebook Monday, claiming in a heart-breaking post that her 3-year-old's innocence was taken by someone she looked to as ‘an uncle.’

According to the woman, her child offered investigators testimony after being examined in the hospital.

The mother of the child has vowed to find justice for her child and urged other parents to hold their babies tight.
