I use to swallow pennies we need to banned them or make them bigger so they cant be swollowed. they looked like communion waffers. LOL

I think the dad is looking for a lawsuit. So he made her swallow them all. He saw her eat one so he made "her eat two then all the way to thirty, because he has wonderful parenting skills..."

Oh dear I don''t know whether to laugh or cry at this one! One thing that really annoys me is that the more these dumb kids misuse toys the more restrictions are brought in. This in turn leads the toys to be less fun for the ''normal'' kids. My son (now 9) has had Magnetix for years and is yet to eat any of them, he values their use for construction too much to bother eating them!

I think the Lents'' should stop worrying about her As and Bs and remove her toys and teach her the rest of the alphabet before trying to re-enter her into society!

We are in Australia and unfortunately it seems that common sense is not only missing from America but is swiftly vanishing from the planet. It is what my husband and I refer to as the LCD phenomenon. That is that the world is set for the lowest common denominator so anyone with more than one brain cell is not able to use their extra intelligence for fear of upsetting the less intelligent ones. It is why the kettle comes with a warning that it MAY be hot when in use lol.

Now if these parents had taught the little girl to put her toys away they would have noticed 30 pieces missing that night instead of having to wait 2 days to find out!! Think about the number too! This kid didn''t made a dumb decision! She sat there and made 30 dumb decisions! Did she choose 20 balls so there was a ball for each pole on each magnet?

Maybe she swallowed the magnets because she thought it would make her more attractive. :-D

I have 3 girls---11 yrs, 8 yrs and a 10 month old. I can not believe that these parents are going after the toy company. My girls have these toys---they look nothing like candy and you would think that this genius of a child would have tasted one of the pieces and noticed that it wasnt sweet and spit it out and not taken another. I hear she is an A'' B'' student--maybe they need to look into putting her in to some "common sense" classes over the summer and lets make that a family course!!! Some people need to stop breeding!!!!
