Girl Swallows 30 Magnets, Steel Balls, Toy's Parts
cbsnews.com — Haley Lents told Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez Monday she ingested the ten magnets and 20 steel balls because they "looked like candy." Haley's father, Jason Lents, told CBS News he "really" doesn't understand how Haley could have consumed the parts, because she "gets A's and B's, and we taught her not to do stuff like this."

- locamama, on 06/03/2008, -0/+3Ugh...that poor girl. My son busted the tiny magnets out of the magnetix but luckily I found them and threw them away. Some kids just eat things. Other kids shove things in their nose and ears. Who knows why?
- claudia7950, on 06/03/2008, -0/+2Oh! I remember a Grey's anatomy episode where a boy ate toys... but this is real life and looks really dangerous
- AndrewMB, on 06/03/2008, -0/+3But shes 8 years old! They might of looked like candy, but they must of tasted like *****!

Her parents are trying to hold the company responsible...she must have inherited her intellectual prowess from them.
Not to rag on a kid...hopefully she'll grow out of her ignorance, whereas her parents obviously never did. - ColonelTribune, on 06/04/2008, -0/+3Geez, and I thought it was bad to put raisins up your nose...
- freebsdmike, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2I know I can say "Well that's why I watch me kids", but I had a 7 year old and I can tell you that you can't watch them 100% of the time.
I'm glad she's okay. - Disco1Stu, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I wonder what she'll do with her new magnetic superpowers
- jasonstout, on 06/13/2008, -0/+0I'm suprised she's still alive! I thought all those "magnet" toys had already been recalled - I guess not.
- woowy, on 06/16/2008, -0/+0Black humour: Now you can tickle her with other magnet :)
