Firefighter Saves Boy Choking On Chicken Nugget

RURAL HALL, N.C. -- A local firefighter was in the right place at the right time Tuesday afternoon.
Eric Stewart was enjoying lunch with his son at Rural Hall Elementary when a teacher ran over to the table to inform him that another student was choking.Stewart sprang into action and gave three abdomen thrusts to 9-year-old fourth-grader Darrell Cates.On the third thrust, the chicken nugget that had gotten lodged in Cates' throat came out."I popped the chicken nugget in my mouth. The next thing I know, I couldn't breathe," Cates said. "I was like, 'Lord, get someone over here. I don't want to choke to death."Stewart, who works for the Rural Hall Fire Department, said he doesn't consider himself a hero, just a firefighter doing what he's been trained to do."Thank goodness the Lord put me here that day for a reason," Stewart said.Stewart and Cates were reunited at the school on Wednesday."Thank you very much for saving my life," Cates told Stewart. "I didn't want to die."

Colo. police pepper-spray misbehaving boy, 8

Published - Apr 06 2011 08:17AM EST

The mother of an 8-year-old boy pepper-sprayed by suburban Denver police as he threw a violent tantrum at his elementary school said Wednesday that she wishes authorities had chosen to talk him down instead.

Police in Lakewood say they pepper-sprayed 8-year-old Aidan Elliott twice Feb. 22 at Glennon Heights Elementary School after he refused to drop a piece of wooden wall trim that he was trying to stab them with.
"I wanted to make something sharp, like if they came out, 'cause i was so mad at them," the boy said on NBC's "Today" show. "I was going to try to whack them with it."
His mother, Mandy, said she wants police in Lakewood to get special training in dealing with children. She said her son has a history of behavioral problems and has responded to rationalization in previous outbursts.
"I don't think a child should get pepper sprayed," the woman said.
Asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" whether he meant it when he told police he wanted to kill them, the boy responded: "A little."
Police say pepper-spraying the boy was the safest option.

MAYBE ALL HE NEEDS IS A GOOD OLD BUTT WHIPPING WITH A SWITCH. YOU KNOW THE KIND YOUR MOMMA WOULD TELL YOU TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET BEFORE SHE WHIPPED YOU WITH IT. PEPPER SPRAY IS A BIT TOO MUCH. DUH.........
