        I'm an educator ~ I never seen such annoying, arrogant parents that don't understand the words "your child is sick," he /she needs to be seen at the hospital .. In fact~ I sent a child home today at drop off , because he didn't pick up the medication from the pharmacy.- poor kid

        Omg. 1) flu test came back negative. 2) he had a flu shot. 3) vomiting isNOT a flu symptom. My heart aches for the parents, but your headline is a) terrible journalism, and b) propagandist fear mongering. Be better.

        What happens if you take him back again? Sorry if this is a silly question - I am in the UK and feel for you all. Absolutely terrifying.
