Gemma reacted quickly to pull Baker off Amy's lap before holding him upside down and hitting his back and after 30 seconds, the sweet came loose.Īmy said: “Baker can be quite hyperactive, but he was sat on my knee and really behaving himself. He wasn't able to answer when she asked him if anything was wrong and continued to shake - causing her to panic. “It was just horrific and I was shaking all day – I'll never forgive myself for putting him or myself through that." Amy was getting her hair done at the You Hair and Beauty Lounge in Thornton-Cleveleys when she noticed that Baker was starting to bob up and down.Īmy Mantle's son Baker (Image: Amy Mantle/SWNS) Now Amy, a public speaker, has warned other parents of small children to be extra careful with lollies - and promote first aid training.īlackpool native Amy told the Mirror: “Normally I’m so paranoid about things and I never give my children lollies, grapes or Maltesers, but I thought because 'he’s sat on my knee and he’s really behaving, one won’t hurt.' It made me realise that a one-off could be fatal and awareness is needed of the dangers of these lollies.
She rushed over and held Baker upside down, before hitting him on the back a number of times to dislodge the lollipop. His mam Amy was unable to remove the lolly from her son's throat and it was only the quick thinking of salon worker Gemma Fairhurst which prevented a tragedy. The terrifying incident happend after two-year-old Baker was given the sweet treat at a hairdressers. Exploring with my dog has been my way of imprinting, and the afternoon I found the Tacos Jalisco truck-and sat on the steps of the church where it’s parked with a paper plate of tacos al pastor, extra sauce, and gorditas-was the day I decided Baltimore was, indeed, home.Īs a further exercise in imprinting, here are the six taquerias and two taco trucks within a two-plus-mile circuit from my front stoop-plus a few more that are absolutely worth a short drive.A toddler was left struggling to breathe after a horrific incident saw him start choking on a lollipop that had come off its stick. (This is not hyperbole ask my Angeleno children.) I didn’t have to reload the U-Haul, as this town has excellent taquerias and taco trucks, many centered near the Upper Fells Point neighborhood where I now live.
Not only was I hungry, but life without them would have been unimaginable. So, when I came to Baltimore, the first thing I did was look for tacos.
This mostly came in the form of tacos, often sought out and consumed with the late restaurant critic Jonathan Gold-whose gravestone, in Hollywood Forever cemetery, is chiseled with the words “Tacos Forever,” a motto many of us continue to live by. For many of the nearly 20 years I lived in Los Angeles before moving to my mother’s hometown of Baltimore two years ago, I was a food writer, editor, and recipe developer-which meant I spent most of those two decades eating Mexican food.
