My father has decided that his two year old grandson chewing on AA batteries is fine (lemmygrad.ml)

Alright I gotta vent I am losing my head over...

The child has learnt a new way to play where they smash TV remotes on to the ground, it comes apart and then they proceed to chew on delicious AA batteries. The child's grandfather who takes care of the child for a significant period of time and who has put little to no effort in childproofing the environment, has ordained that this is fine.

The child's parent has tried asking the grandfather to not let the child do this. Until last week I hadn't imagine that one would ever have to labour to explain why a child should not chew on batteries. But seems like they are unable to have a rational conversation due to being emotionally stunted which I guess runs in the family.

Really looking forward to the day when I don't have to deal with my family (except the child) anymore.

My brother almost died from swallowing a battery when he has a toddler. He was extremely lucky it didn't open in his stomach, otherwise he'd be dead now. Some doctors have even postulated that some of the (extreme) behavioural difficulties he has had all his life stem from the lithium that may have been absorbed at such a young age.

I am very sorry to hear that buddy. That sounds terrifying for everyone involved.

Thanks mate. I didn't mean to make this about my story, but rather mention what the consequences of your grandfather's actions could be though.

I hope he comes to his senses or something.
