5-Year-Old Girl is Nearly Strangled in Kindergarten Playground
A five-year-old girl is currently suffering swelling around her trachea due to almost chocking from playing with a rope and slide. Koreylee Raika was playing in the playground on Tuesday afternoon when the incident occurred
Her mother was called immediately and informed that Koreylee was being taken to Wellington Hospital. The incident has surfaced many questions from Koreylee’s mother, who wonders why there was a rope attached to the slide in the first place, and wonders why the playground was not better supervised. Wellington Kindergarten’s general manager is looking into the incident but assures that the people who were looking after the children were highly trained and capable. When Koreylee was untangled from the rope she collapsed, and a teacher immediately began performing CPR before the ambulance arrived. Some of the other children were taking part in some type of reverse abseiling activity involving the rope and the slide. The Kindergarten is now looking into the placement of the rope in order to prevent this type of incident from ever occurring again.
Playgrounds are usually home to the typical scrapes and bruises, but no parent ever imagines that a serious injury can occur from playing on a playground. When you entrust your child to a school system, you trust that they are going to be properly monitored and that no unforeseen dangers are in proximity to where they play. In a sensitive situation like this, it can be difficult to know who to blame and who to hold accountable for the physical injuries your child has endured. Contacting an Arizona personal injury attorney when your child has been injured is your family’s best option for compensation and for finding the responsible party.
