A toddler died after his father force-fed him a mixture of cereal and bread - causing his lungs to fill with the substance and drowning him in his food . The three-year-old was allegedly regularly made to lie across his father’s lap as his cheeks were pinched together and the porridge-like mixture poured into his mouth from a cup .
Jurors heard that, after being forced to eat, the toddler sometimes vomited and ‘the defendant would become angry, and slap him or send him to bed’. But on one occasion it went ‘terribly wrong’, said prosecutor Simon Denison QC . ‘It is alleged that because of the way the youngster would have been laid across his father’s lap, he would not have been able to lean forward and cough up any food that went down the wrong way.’ . ‘His distress would have been obvious as he kicked and wriggled to try and free himself, and, he being a large three-year-old boy, it would have taken force to restrain him .
‘But then as more food went into his airways and into his lungs, he would have been unable to breathe, and he would have gone limp and lost consciousness, with food blocking his lungs and his upper and lower airways.’ .
#GoldmyneTv brought Up this Discussion sometime last month about this style of Feeding .
