Daycare fire kills 41 children in Mexico
| quote: |
| HERMOSILLO, Mexico (Reuters) - The death toll from a fire at a day-care center in Mexico rose to 41 children on Sunday and a dozen more were fighting for their lives in hospitals. The northern city of Hermosillo was in mourning after a blaze spread through the ABC day-care center there on Friday, killing babies and toddlers as parents and employees raced desperately to rescue them. "In the past few hours three more have died," Sonora state Health Minister Raymundo Lopez told reporters. "Twelve of the 22 hospitalized children are in grave condition." Pope Benedict said he was "deeply pained" and sent his condolences to the victims' families, saying he would pray for them. Smoke inhalation killed many of the children, who ranged in age from a few months to three. It was unclear where or how the fire started, although it may have broken out in a nearby warehouse in an industrial neighborhood, the government said. As flames blocked the center's doorway, employees and bystanders used cars to punch holes through a wall, stumbling over unconscious infants and toddlers as they tried to find them and get them out, witnesses said. Mexican President Felipe Calderon has ordered an investigation and visited victims on Saturday at hospitals in Hermosillo, a city of about 700,000. "Which is your favorite Power Ranger? You look stronger than the Power Rangers," Calderon told one bedridden toddler, referring to a children's television program. On Sunday, funerals continued, with some 20 empty graves waiting at a local cemetery. "I'll always be your father," said one parent as weeping friends and family crowded around a small coffin. At another ceremony, people released white balloons into the air as a coffin strewn with flowers was lowered into the ground. Some severely burned children have been flown to specialist hospitals, including the Shriners children's hospital in Sacramento, California. Lopez said some were suffering from respiratory problems while others with severe burns had lost body fluids, causing kidney failure. Doctors and nurses "have worked without rest to rescue more children from death," Lopez said. More than 140 children were in the center when the fire broke out, the government says. The facility had passed its last government inspection in May, according to Daniel Karam, head of the Mexican agency responsible for health care and social security. Calderon rushed medical assistance to overwhelmed medical staff in Hermosillo, 170 miles south of the U.S. border, including air ambulances and specialists in reconstructive surgery. |

It got a tad too cheesy near the end.
so wait
arent the employees suppose to watch the children?
they dont just lock them up and leave do they? i didnt hear about any employee injuries or deaths. Quite shocking if they were totally left unsupervised.

| Originally posted by tubularbills no, its just Mexico. also, does anyone know why they are sending some of the surviving children to a hospital in Sacremento? |

| Originally posted by Palladium because not a single hospital in Mexico has the capability enough to treat serious burn injuries. surviving children have between 50-80% of body burned |
i'm pretty sure is both the state and federal mexican government, if not the daycare owner, it "helps" them to feel less guilty you know.

| Originally posted by tubularbills and who's paying for their treatment? californians? not to sound like a complete jerk; but i mean, i just find it weird that they are bringing in people from another country for free healthcare treatment, when if this happened to kids in america, it would be the parents resonsibility to get them treatment with their own healthcare; and if they had none, well then its, "here's a bandaid and go to walgreens to get some lotion" ok ok ok horrible example, i know; but i just don't like the idea of people who live in another country getting free american healthcare (kind of, at least). |
