Diabetic's mum upset at treatment (NZ)

[Northerner]

The mother of a diabetic preschooler who had a life-threatening episode at a children's playland in Hamilton says she is horrified by the treatment she received from staff.

But the owners say it was a misunderstanding, and they worked hard to ensure the safety of the hundreds of children who visit their facility.

Helen Flynn, from Te Awamutu, was at Chipmunks Playland and Cafe in Pukete on Sunday when her daughter Ryleigh, 4, started having a Type 1 diabetic severe hypoglycaemic episode at the top of a bouncy slide.

This Mr Owen and his wife seem to me to be a sort of 'jobs worth' team. I am sure Mrs Flynn informed the Chipmunks Playland group of her daughter Ryleigh's diabeties its one of the first things a mother would do.

Jelly beans for a small child having a hypo? 😱 Not good due to choking hazard in a little one.
