San Jose boy who swallowed magnets to tell story on TV

origin.mercurynews.com — Last April, when Braden swallowed two pencil-eraser-size magnets from a toy construction set, his mother, Jill, didn't think it was a big deal. But she took him to Good Samaritan Hospital's emergency room after Braden complained of stomachaches.

  • jjustice, on 02/06/2008, -0/+1The second time I saw this headline come up, I read it as "...swallowed magnets *in order to* tell story on TV." I was like, people will do anything to get attention.
  • jcorn1, on 02/06/2008, -0/+1I actually wrote about the dangers of earth magnets some time ago (not here) and I am so glad you posted this here. People do NOT realize that a couple of magnets can be deadly. They aren't typical magnets but far stronger. People have them everywhere because they do hold more papers together but don't realize the danger.

    P.S. Thanks for being so great and keeping up with my stuff. Really, really appreciate it!
