9-Year-Old NYC Boy Chokes in School Cafeteria


NEW YORK -- Witnesses say a fourth-grade boy choked on meatballs during lunch in a New York City school cafeteria this month and later died.
The New York Post reports that 9-year-old Jonathan Jewth fell to the ground during lunch Dec. 5 and was unconscious before help arrived. They say cafeteria workers at Public School 47 in the Bronx didn't know what to do and failed to help him.
"I saw the boy start choking, but nobody was helping,"  Andrea Perez, 25, told the New York Post.

Come on liberals shouldn't we have to register our meatballs every time we buy them. Or maybe put a ban on meatballs. After all a kid died. Why aren't our school teachers and kitchen help learning CPR and be able to respond in emergency situations.

Everyone needs to learn CPR, including children. Teach this instead of sex education. The life you save could be someone you love!

This is a terrible tragedy that could have been prevented. I guess this school didn't have a school nurse.
School nurses save lives every day,all the more reason to have school nurses in EVERY school. Are you listening Wicomico County???
