McDonald’s patrons snap pics of choking tyke instead of helping her
When a 3-year-old girl lost consciousness while choking at a British McDonalds, customers snapped to action – by whipping out their cell phones to capture her in distress.
Millie Wise was enjoying Chicken McNuggets with her grandma Sandra Longmoor in Hartlepool on Tuesday when a piece became lodged in her windpipe and she began to choke and convulse, the Mirror reported.
Like a band of McGhouls, other diners took to recording Millie’s emergency rather than providing first aid — or calling for help.
But staffers at the Middleton Grange shopping center jumped to action and Millie was rushed to a hospital, where she recovered from the ordeal.
“It is unbelievable that people would watch a thing like that and their first instinct was not to call help but to take pictures and video,” said her mom, Claire Wise, 35.
“I hope the people who did use their phones to take photos and video have the decency to delete them and I hope no one will share them on social media,” she added. “I am disgusted that people recorded such a traumatic incident while my mam and Millie were suffering such an awful ordeal.”
She expressed her appreciation for a security guard and McDonald’s workers.
“Without them I couldn’t imagine what might have happened,” she said.
A McDonald’s worker tried unsuccessfully to dislodge the nugget before shopping center medic Steve Dawking arrived.
“I leaned her over and slapped her on the back four times. There was still no response,” Dawking said. “I had one last chance to remove the blockage. I slapped her with as much power as I could given she is a small child. It came out like a bullet.”
