Grandad.Malky Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 If an adult swallowed a coin then I think nature will take its course eventually, but a small child, I think I would be seeking advice straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you waiting for woman.....get the child to Hospital...never mind SF...just get the child there immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
