Default AvP claims its first victim

From CNN
Boy, 3, chokes to death on popcorn at movie

VALLEY STREAM, New York (AP) -- A 3-year-old boy choked to death while eating popcorn at a movie theater.

Deontea Riley, of New York City, was at the Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas in Long Island's Valley Stream watching "Alien vs. Predator" with his parents and older brother when he began to choke shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, Nassau County police said.

The family all had been eating from a small tub of popcorn when Elaine McIntosh, the boy's mother, saw that her youngest son was choking.

His parents rushed him out of the theater where they performed the Heimlich maneuver without success.

"I was trying everything," his father, Eddie Riley, told the Daily News in Tuesday's editions. "I was trying to put my finger down his throat. I didn't feel anything."

Police arrived shortly afterward and tried to clear the boy's mouth and perform CPR, but he was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre.

His body was taken to the Nassau University Medical Center morgue pending a medical examiner's report.

Put the kid over your lap, whack him really hard on the back. Fixed. Heimlich's don't work on toddlers. Dumbass parents, popcorn is not suitable for small kids.

Yep.

Folks don't know that either.
Also CPR for infants is different than for adults.

Sad tale.
Parents go sign up for Red Cross CPR classes and learn a trick or two.

Exactly! Why would you take a 3 year old to this movie? Get a babysitter next time!

Odd movie to take the kid to. Terrible thread title.

Janq has good advice.

While I feel bad for them, stupidity doesn't hurt the right people unfortunately.

Terrible tragedy, all parents should know now to administer CPR and what to do if a child chokes.
