Very scary and I'm glad the boy is ok, but I can't imagine giving Jaw Breakers to a four year old! I don't even let my nine year old boy chew hard candy because he's always running around and wrestling with the dog. I just *know* he'd choke on them.

I'm with you here....no hard candy for little ones. Have to say tho, it must be pretty hard to keep your head straight after the trauma of these past months. Pray for their family.

I certainly did not give my 4 year old a jaw breaker. That was a misquote by the newspapers. My sister-in-law had taken the two boys along with her daughter 9, to lunch at our local diner, and gave the three children quarters to play video games. They, being children, chose jawbreakers instead. My mistake was not to take it away immediately. I was rushed and a lot of people were there to say good-bye and sadly I did not want to start a scene with Dylan and the other two children while I was trying to get out the door. No excuse, but there will never be another jawbreaker or any other hard, round piece of candy in either of their mouths until they are paying their own mortgages. God has definately been watching over me and mine.
