A 3-year-old boy with a known dairy allergy died after eating grilled cheese at his New York City preschool.
An adult at Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Harlem gave Elijah Silvera a grilled cheese sandwich last week despite the school “knowing and having documented that he has a severe allergy to dairy,” according to a GoFundMe set up for the Silvera family. The school didn’t call 911, but instead called Elijah’s mother, Dina Silvera. It's unknown if epinephrine or an Epipen was at the school.

I read about this and it is horrible!
I have the same allergy as Elijah did and would’ve had the same reaction if I took even a bite of cheese. Everyone who knows me knows if that were to accidental happen that 911 has to be called right away.
I hope the person who gave him the sandwhich is charged with murder, as the Center was aware of his allergy!

I do not like this charity world. It just screams we a rich country that makes people pay for our problems. Then they ask why we such a welfare state. Duh. Sorry to hear this, thought was a happy post seeing the picture.

I read about this. The school should know if kids are allergic to anything and keep the foods away from the allergic kid. I see a law suit coming against the school.

Very sad happening that.
I cannot for the life of me understand why they did not call the 911 first and have put priority his allergy to dairy foods.
Poor little boy I feel for his Parents.
Surely at Preschool they have a Doctor or a Nurse at hand for such very young children?
