1: Shelby Esses remembers when her 20-month-old son Jacob became ill after apparently playing with and swallowing Aqua Dots, the latest toy made in China to be pulled from shelves by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
"He came stumbling out into the living room … and he just started weaving kind of like he was drunk or something and he fell down," Esses told "Good Morning America." "My husband picked him up, he was pretty limp, and then he starteJacob passed out, and Esses rushed him to the hospital where he was treated by Dr. Matt Jaeger.
"He was extremely sleepy, I could barely arouse him even to painful stimulation. … I would call him in a coma," Jaeger said. "It was pretty dramatic. He was unconscious in this coma for about six hours. And then over the course of just a few minutes went from being completely asleep to wide awake and playing like nothing ever happened."
Jacob and another American child who became ill have both come out of their comas and are fully recovered. d vomiting."

Opinion
That is wrong that toys are getting that bad to were they are starting to affect kids if they happen to swallow something on accident. There should be no extra chemicals or anything of the sort that would hurt a kid in case they did swallow it. China definitely needs to get checked more often on their toys the make.

2:The search for a 9-year-old girl who was reported missing after she was left home alone stretched across the rugged Ozarks countryside Wednesday, and the sheriff said he suspects foul play.
Colleen Spears returned home early Saturday from a night shift at a Wal-Mart in a nearby town and discovered that her daughter, Rowan Ford, was gone. The girl's stepfather, David Spears, told investigators he and two male friends were with Rowan until they went out around 10:45 p.m.He returned home around midnight but did not check on the girl, Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland said.
David Spears later acknowledged that he called his mother sometime after 1 a.m. Saturday and asked to use her vehicle. She took it to him about half an hour later, then stayed at his house while her son left for about 5 1/2 hours, Copeland said.

Opinion
Well that is wrong that you would leave a 9 year old home alone at 10:45 at night. Anything could have happened to the girl and she could most likely be somwhere that she wouldn't have been if there was an adult there. Then again she couold have ran away because of something her stepfather could have done to her and they need to analyze that more. That is just wrong and sad.

1: Thousands of bananas washed up on two Dutch North Sea islands on Wednesday after at least six containers fell off a cargo ship in a storm and one burst open, a local official said.
"I think everybody on the island has a bunch now," said Gossen Buren, a shipping official at the local lighthouse.A half-mile stretch of beach on Terschelling island, 70 miles north of Amsterdam, was littered with bunches of unripe fruit, Buren said. Bananas also washed up on neighboring Ameland island.
Terschelling residents are no strangers to stuff turning up on their beach; a year ago thousands of tennis shoes, aluminum briefcases and children's toys washed ashore, drawing crowds of treasure-hunting residents. Some 20 years ago it was a load of sweaters.

Opinion
That is a lot of bananas and that is a waste of money and time that those people spent on taking them as far as they got. People that deliver things while going over the water need to make sure everything is secure because that is so horrible that things are falling off that is losing profit too. It is all a bad thing.

2: An 18-year-old student opened fire in a Finnish high school Wednesday, killing seven students and the principal before turning the gun on himself, police said.
The teenager, who was not identified, shot himself in the head but survived for a time. He died at Toolo Hospital, chief doctor Eero Hirvensalo said.The attack at Jokela High School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki, shocked the Nordic nation, where gun ownership is fairly common by European standards but deadly shootings are rare.
Finnish media reported that in 1989 a 14-year-old boy shot and killed two students, apparently for teasing him.
Police said at a news conference after the attack that the gunman in Wednesday's attack shot the victims five boys, two girls and the female principal with a .22-caliber pistol. About a dozen other people were injured as they tried to escape the school, police said.
"He was from an ordinary family," police chief Matti Tohkanen said about the gunman, who belonged to a gun club and got a license for the pistol Oct. 19. He did not have a previous criminal record, he said.
Finnish media said the shooter revealed his plans in a YouTube posting before the attack.
The video, titled "Jokela High School Massacre," showed a picture of a building by a lake that appeared to be the high school, along with two photos of a young man holding a handgun. The person who posted the video was identified in the user profile as an 18-year-old man from Finland. The posting was later removed.

Opinion
That is wrong that some kid would just go to a school and kill inisit kids. People need to bunp the gun age up and make sure that what they are doing with their guns are ok. Then on top of that he records a tape before the incident on the internet then posts it that is wrong and I don't get why nobody saw that and didn't say anything about it. I hate that people can get away with these things no matter what we just need to have security at every school no matter if they haven't had violence before.
