    Fifty needles found in Brazilian boy



    A Brazilian toddler has up to 50 sewing needles inside him, which doctors suspect were deliberately inserted.

    Why the hell couldn't his mother have used a pin cushion like anyone else.

    I wish treads like these would get to the point with the disussion.

    Also inserted where?

    Someone had to ask.

    Dr Luiz Cesar Soltoski told Associated Press news agency: "We think it could have only been by penetration because we found needles in the lung, the left leg and in different parts of the thorax

    The poor child :( it says no signs of wounds on his body so he could have had them in him a long time for the wounds to heal before being brought to the hospital...... this was deliberate
    a 2 year old child doesn't keep swallowing needle after needle
    What kind of sick people are out there:mad:

    She'll try and claim it was a stitch-up I reckon, she'll be trying very hard to pull the wool over our eyes...

    Still though, the poor kid must be in rag order, can't be easy living with a crotchety old woman like his mother.

    Feel terrible for that child..it's horrible to think that these things go on and they're a direct result of some stupid stupid belief system.
