12-year-old boy nearly escaped death after sw*llowing 54 magnets to see if he could become magnetic.

Rhiley Morrison was rushed to surgery in January after he sw*llowed over 50 magnetic balls in a science experiment to see if he could gain magnetic abilities. Morrison had apparently been consuming magnets in individual batches. But when they failed to pass through his system, he woke up his mother, Paige Ward, 30, at 2 am and told her that he had sw*llowed two by accident.

When he was taken to the hospital, an X-ray revealed that Morrison had at least 54 magnets in his system. Fearing that they would burn his organs, Morrison was quickly transferred for a six-hour-long operation.

After the surgery, Morrison spent 15 days in the hospital. He vomited a green liquid due to bowel leaking every time he moved, and he had to be fed from a tube. His mother Paige says that Morrison is a massive science enthusiast therefore he dared to do such a risky experiment.

The hospital authorities have informed local media that they often deal with cases like Rhiley. They believe that such accidents can be overcome only by constant parental monitoring.



He is doing much better now. * +

Glad Rhiley is okay. Should parents put in more effort by monitoring their children better? This of course was the advice given by hospital authorities who did say such cases come in often enough to warrant a sense of urgency when it comes to better parenting. * +

If by 'monitoring' them you meant, 'teaching them the X-Men aren't real and eating magnets won't turn them into Magneto', then yes. * +

The magnets stick your intestines together. This kid apparently can't Google because there was a big deal about a baby that died from this. * +

I noticed that, 'nearly escaped death' would mean he nearly survived but still died. * +
