Lincolnshire Mum Raises Awareness After Son’s Emergency Surgery from Swallowing Magnets

Naomi Rivers, a Lincolnshire mother, is raising awareness amongst parents about the dangers of children swallowing small yet powerful magnets. This comes after her own son had to go through an immediate medical procedure due to the ingesting of these magnets. Naomi’s aim is to use their incident as a lesson to the community in hopes of preventing similar incidents. By sharing her family’s story, Naomi hopes to emphasise the potential health risks and stress which can be avoided by ensuring that such items are kept out of children’s reach. Sheffield’s local press outlet, The Lincoln Post, adapted their coverage of this story from the original reporting via www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk.
