None of the staff knew to perform the Heimlich maneuver on her? 🫤☹️

Died after choking or died from choking?

That's terrible. Praying for her family

Yun

Sad! All we know is that she choked on 'a piece of food,' not who prepared it! Tchrs care! Understaffed yes! Parent volunteers to help? 🦗🦗! Judgemental parents? 💯! Quick to judge slow to volunteer your lunchtime 1 day/wk to help. See a need, fill a need! Try it sometime!

This is what worries me about sending my child to public school. Parents shouldn't be forced to pay private tuition just to keep their child safe.

This is awful 😞

I bet if it would have been a child of the staff the situation would be different!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Y'all looking for a reason to not feed children at schools?

That's sad but will it hurt CISCOs profit margin? Like I thought that was the 1 priority the way we have been running things for rhe last 30 years

Prayers for the child

I think it’s really important for parents to teach their children at a VERY young age how to tell others you are choking. (Placing hands on their own neck). This is so sad and likely could have been avoided. My heart is broken for the family, students and staff.

Rip

Clearly we need to more closely regulate the size food we are feeding to our students....

So sad. Condolences to the family.

Sad for the parents. I hope they don’t charge the lunch lady with manslaughter

I keep a life vac in my purse...why isn't there one in every school cafeteria?!?!! Why? They are cheap and life saving.

Great, now Biden is going to go after school lunches.

This should have never happened. Heartbreaking for this family. -Schools get funded but for most it seems to go towards the sports department. Am I wrong for saying that? Or maybe I’ve just seen it and heard about it with the schools I know about.

This is so sad, the heimlit maneuver doesn't always work. I'm sure the kid was just excited talking to his friends and swallowed his food incorrectly and it's a possibility it got into his lungs. That's the biggest cause of pneumonia, so it's possible that's what killed him.

My prayers to the child's family

All staff needed to be trained and certified hands -on,on CPR.... What did the student choke on? Was it like uncut grapes?.....

TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO EAT!!!!!!

Chewing is mandatory, but I assume it will somehow be the food's fault.

How does this affect LeBron career tho?

Was no one watching and also was no one trained in this type of incident

No body watches the kids eat? Smh

We need to teach our young one the basics ! We are not!!!

A grandmas worst nightmare. So sad.

Poor kids aren't given enough time to eat and recess so they're rushing through their meal. Now look what's happened

I also suggest the Heimlich, What a tragic lost, My condolences to the school classmates and staff. No school will like to lose a student. I were only a student there at the high school in 1987. Edna T Wilson. Duncanville grad ‘88

It may have been prevented but please let readers know if swallowing was an issue or a medical medical condition.

So sad.

Where is Highland Hills elementary? Never heard of it. Do you mean Highlands elementary?

Ban all assault style chicken nuggets!

Where's the school nurse? None of the staff have training? Are we all primitive or what?!

That’s horrible So sorry for the family and all that knew the child. Sending prayers and condolences 🙏🏻

Schools are understaffed, that's why school districts around the country are going g to 4 day Work Weeks. San Antonio is also considering a 4 Day Workweek bc the State isn't funding schools properly. Blame Governors for nit distributing more to schools.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for the family and students, teachers, and staff.

What tha

Sue.

OMG how sad

How does this happen? Understaffing? Minimal supervision? Where’s the accountability 😡 parents send Thier most precious possessions to school expecting them to return. Schools need to do more.

First gun violence, now food violence.. where will it end?

All schools and daycares need to invest in these and you even need them at home

Definitely have to know whole story. Teachers know Heimlich maneuver so it maybe that it just wasn’t effective. IT DOESN’T ALWAYS WORK!!!

The people of America can't have clearer mind that why we are possessing the fire arms. Their attempts to remove 2nd amendment won't be succeeding. This is the most critical time to possess firearms to protect you and your family from the tyranny of evil government.

Praying for family

Fox News think this is serious Why don't they report the death rates caused by covid vaccination? Untimely death rates are soaring. Not that's serious!!!!

Sooo nobody did CPR whatever happened to the posters that show u how to help when someone is choking

No

It should be mandatory that all schools have a LifeVac or DeChoker!!

Prayers for the family!

There’s a new invention out you don’t even have to do the Heimlich anymore just a simple little tool you put up the face and suck it right out. All schools should be equipped by now with these. I forget what they are called. Sad for the family, classmates and teachers. Tragic

Prayers for their family🙏🙏🙏CPR and the Heimlich should be taught in schools

Now they're going to say the food is racist LOL

That’s absolutely terrible 😢 🙏🏽

Thts horrible 🥹

How does this happen! No one knows how to perform the Heimlich maneuver at that school!?

Dan Patrick have repeatedly said they intend to push harder this year for a policy to spread tax dollars from public schools to private schools or home schools. Good. Entrusting one's children to government-run schools is parental malpractice per se. Stealing tax payer money for private schools. Typical ploy by Republicans
