In the UK, the British Toxicology Society noted that approximately two-thirds of cases of childhood accidental medication poisoning are from medications not intended for children’s use, “often either their parent’s or grandparent’s medications”. The issue, known as ‘granny syndrome’ or ‘granny’s purse syndrome’ (because medication is often stored in granny’s handbag or purse), could be easily avoided by having a simple conversation when you visit grandparents, or they visit you. AdvertisementDr Martin also advises not taking medication in front of children because they “want to mimic what adults do”. If your child has accidentally taken medicationIf you think your child might have accidentally taken medication, call 999 or go to A&E. The NHS advises taking some of the pills or packaging to hospital to show doctors, so they know what they’re dealing with.

The effort required significant time and personnel resources from the Justice Department, pulling top prosecutors from D.C., Florida and New York to review the files. The Justice Department has redacted the files for any information that could identify a victim, he said. Blanche attempted to bat down conspiracy theories Friday and said that there was no classified material in the Epstein files. On Friday, Rep. Robert Garcia (California), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, reiterated that the Justice Department had already defied the committee’s Aug. 5 subpoena. Unlike the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which allows for redactions, the subpoena requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the full, unredacted Epstein files to the committee, including any classified materials and information tied to ongoing investigations.

I stifle my emotions as best I can so that doctors don’t assume symptoms stem from mental health struggles. “I’m done telling my story until the doctor comes in.”I’d been broken by the trauma, but I’d also gained a voice.

The escalation of violence in relation to the Minneapolis ICE protests suggests that more violence may well occur. I have noted many social posts stating that the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were deserved because they were agitators, if not domestic terrorists. As our Board of Regents President, Sherry Bates, said in relation to Charlie Kirk’s death: “Posts like the ones we saw last week are offensive, inappropriate, and above all, unacceptable. It spreads like wildfire, it infects for generations and it destroys those exposed to its poison, as well as those it infects. Thank you for the time you took to read this letter, and for any consideration you might give to my request.
