Little toddler sucks on USB cable - Now at the Hospital
We hate hearing stories like this, but we have to realize that every cable coming out of your PC usually carries an electric charge, and if a little guy gets a hold of it, this could happen. A little toddler by the name of Trinity is at the hospital with 3rd degree burns on her tongue and lips and being subjected to paralyzing to prevent her from moving, and disturbing the breathing tube. Grandpa Jeffrey Anderson says "I want to make it better and there's nothing I can do, She needs the tube because her tongue is so swollen it blocks her airway".
Anderson said doctors plan to allow Trinity to revive to consciousness in the next day or two to assess how much neurological damage occurred. This was clearly something that no little kid should ever have to experience, ever. Keep your cables tidy and lets hope for the best! Good luck Trinity!
