How the hell could this happen. I'm at pain. Doctors successfully removed 13 needles inside a 10 month old bab but one could not be removed as it could have caused so much damage. The mother could not explain how that happened. I hope the authorities arrest the parent and someone else takes care of the little angel. As I write this I'm in tears and I have cried this whole weekend. I dont even know the little one but im in pain.

Even half of it in your body is really painful. It hurts me since the baby is defenseless. I suspect the parents

I highly suspect the parents. Because they could have noticed the discomfort sooner

Very strange. I also tried to imagine where all these needles came from for such a small child. God help us.

@aureliah Imagine how she was sitting on her butts with the needles. Today we hear her parents were arrested they say it might be child abuse. How can one do such a thing to such a small child?

that sound very painful indeed so they can never remove that one remaining needle ? won't the baby still feel pained inside?

@aureliah I wonder how they can trace the source of this though..

They cant. It will cause more damage. Hope it wont be an issue later in life and the baby should not be in the hands of those parents.

The needles were successfully removed so the baby is recuperating

That is the worst thing I ever heard. It is like that baby had been purposely fed those needles. It is not possible that the baby would have swallowed them on his own. So awful. I will put in a prayer for that poor little one.

I dont think she swallowed them. It could be they were inserted which makes it even worse

They have not yet discovered who could have done that as the parents say they don't know

@aureliah I will search for this on the internet for full details. I hope it is there. A mother should know unless someone else in the home or who was spending time away with the baby knows something.

I dont even know because the mother says she has no idea
