health risks to small children at direct actions
Please don't bring small children along on direct actions.I'm all for bringing children to demonstrations-start them off right-but direct actions especially dangerous for them. Here's why:
Look at your little finger.The human airway is roughly
proportional to the little finger.Now look at your child's little finger.Thats the size of their airway.Further,children's airways can close up do to very slight irritation.One of the most dificult skills for an emt is establishing an airway in a child-because if you
fail the first time, it closses tight and you don't get a second chance.
We can expect more suprise chemical attacks by the police.Its time to limit childrent to the rally point or leave them home.
