7-Year-Old Swallows Dental Apparatus.

SANFORD, Fla. -- The family of a 7-year-old boy in Sanford who was rushed to an emergency room after he accidentally swallowed his "grill" -- or decorative metal mouth piece -- is concerned because the apparatus remains in his stomach.

Bobby Tedesco placed the grill over the teeth after his mother purchased it for $10 at a flea market.

Sounds very scary but actually it's probably a good thing that he swallowed it because he could have choked to death otherwise. Still I hope he's ok.

What the crap does a 7 y/o need with a grill? For that matter why does any one need one? To catch bugs?

No doubt it looks 'cool' on his favorite rapper. Why would a parent buy this? My mam wouldnt even buy me a lollipop if she caught me sucking it while not holding the stick :S

Unbelievable! Each time you think you've seen and heard something really stupid, new things show up which are even worse. What are these people thinking?

No wonder it didn't stay on his teeth, it was a cheap $10 knockoff from a flea market.

Everyone knows you're supposed to rob a jewelry store and have them make that junk for you. Hasn't rap music taught this kid anything useful?
