Loom band warning: Schoolboy blinded in one eye while playing with latest playground craze

Kyle Lawrence whose left eye was injured by a loom band bracelet (SWNS) A mother issue has issued a stark warning to parents, after her son was blinded in one eye - by a loom band. Carlie Lawrence, 32, was sitting with her children making bracelets with the popular loom bands, when her eldest son accidentally pinged a bangle into his seven-year-old brother Kyle's eye. The accident caused a blood clot - leaving him completely blind in his left eye - and he is now awaiting surgery in a bid to restore his eyesight. His ordeal emerged after a doctor took to a Facebook group to warn parents over the dangers of the latest playground craze. Carlie said: ‘I will never have them in the house again. I emailed the company about changing the labelling to warn people but they haven't got back to me. ‘There should be a warning on the packet - children shouldn't be doing the stretching. ‘It's terrible that this has happened. I've had other parents come forward and say that something similar has happened, but not as bad.’

Loom bands have quickly become the new playground craze (SWNS) Mum-of-six Carlie, from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, sat with her children playing with the bands at the end of May. They were making bands known as 'rainbow loom sandals', which feature a band around the ankle with a strap which hooks around a toe. One of them needed stretching to fit but as her eldest son pulled it, the band slipped from his fingers and shot into Kyle's eye. Carlie, a carer, said: ‘He was screaming in pain and I have never heard him scream before. He started being violently sick. ‘I couldn't go near Kyle after it happened, my husband had to deal with it. I was so scared. ‘We had to take Kyle out of the room to try and calm him down.’

The incident caused a blood clot - leaving Kyle completely blind in his left eye (SWNS) He was rushed to A&E, where he was examined before being sent home the same night with eye drops. But Carlie was forced to take the schoolboy back to hospital after he continued being sick during the night. An eye expert said he should never have been sent home and admitted Kyle for six days in hospital, and a further week's bed rest. He is currently back at school but is unable to take part in any outdoor activities.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of wo...

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
