Parents get wish on nut-death probe
http://www.theage.com.au/…4086848131.html
THE parents of a four-year-old boy who died at his kindergarten from a suspected allergic reaction to peanuts have welcomed the State Coroner’s decision to hold an inquest into his death after a year-long battle to try to find out what went wrong.
The story goes on to say…
The kindergarten had been specifically chosen by his parents, Nigel and Martha Baptist, because of its nut-free policy. (The Baptists have asked that the kindergarten not be identified until the inquest is held some time next year.)
We are always saying that having a nut ban isn’t the be all and end all that parents who advocate think it is.
I will be following this inquest here as we did with Hamadur a couple of months ago.
Truely tragic when a child dies before their parents and bites close to home when they die of anaphylaxis. As it could just as easily be one of our own children coming home from school in a body bag.

I was reading your comment on how a nut free school is not what its cracked up to be. If all parents took were visual not only of their own child but of those around them with have this problem ant not whine at bitch about the school not letting them take peanut butter to school then it would be a safer place for children with these fatel allergies.
