Anyone else catch that news feature about the Coroner’s findings after the death of a young lad with an extreme cheese allergy?

 

Another lad threw a 50p sized piece of a cheese slice at him which hit him on the neck causing instant irritation and he died shortly thereafter. The school staff administered an anaphylaxis   combi-pen but it was 12 months past use date. 

 

Following so soon after the girl that died after eating a Pret sandwich it has surprised me that such extreme allergies seem to be fairly widespread. 

 

Can’t help but think if I knew I had a cryptonite out there in the big bad world, I’d take appropriate measures for self protection. 

 

Not withstanding in loco parentis (in the case of the schoolboy) why would he not be carrying his own combi-pen and why buy food (rather than taking your own or being absolutely certain of the provenance of purchased food) if you know the severity of the allergy / potential implications?

 

Is this an illustration of society’s apparent willingness to abdicate all responsibility for personal actions?

Danny Baker to be investigated by the old bill!, haven't the police got more pressing things to deal with?

 there's only a couple of deaths a day from stabbing or shooting, so they must have plenty of resources available to investigate this social media post.
