What began as an ordinary day became a medical nightmare almost instantly for the family of toddler Dusty Wildman.
The Australian boy was critically injured...
"There will always be the older white woman in Walmart who stared at us with sheer disgust, or the African-American mother who looked at us and just shook her head.”
"Nash had a small choking episode but was fine. We didn’t see anything come out so we assumed he swallowed it. He seemed completely fine and continued to watch the movie. The only thing we observed was a cough he developed after the episode..."
"At 5:37 p.m. she was declared dead... If I can save one person’s life, or another family from going through the hell of losing a loved one, it will all be worth it."
"I know what it’s like to see parents and children stare at your child, laugh at them or worse…walk away from them. People would understand if your child looked different, if you were pushing them in a wheelchair or if they had a walking frame. I see your child’s disability even when they don’t look disabled."
"Even basic open source research suggests that 'Momo' is run by hackers who are looking for personal info. The danger lies with your child feeling pressured to either follow the orders of ANY app via 'challenges' or peer pressure."
"She enjoyed my affection, enjoyed my attention, and I enjoyed her reaction. She wanted me to do it. One day she wouldn’t ask me. She would just do it herself. What if this was the last time?"
"He showed me an image of the face on my phone and said that she had told him to go into the kitchen drawer and take out a knife and put it into his neck."
"I’ve learned strong-willed toddlers grow up to be strong-willed teens. And that’s more than okay. It’s actually a blessing and I wouldn’t change it if I could."
