Did you see where the article said multiple calls had gotten through to 911 dispatch?

The teacher may be a raging idiot, but certainly did not cause the death anymore than a traffic cop who shows up at the scene of an accident and slaps the cellphone out of the hand of a bystander.

The kid choked on a hamburger and caused his own death. It's a pity nobody had training in the heimlich, and noone gave appropriate first aid.

It is for the police to decide if she obstructed life saving treatment for the kid by mindlessly enforcing a cell phone rule during the emergency.

Lots of calls got through from the kids to 911, but when? If you read the article, Toby, you will see it does not say when the calls came in and when this kid tried to make his call. Was this kid's call earlier in the process? Minutes make the difference between life and death in such emergencies. The teacher's actions, if found to be as portrayed in this article, were so brainless and negligent, it should be criminally investigated. In addition, if it is found that she actually did this stupid action during an emergency, she should be removed from her job because she is a danger to the kids.
