Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

An NHS trust has admitted that a highly vulnerable baby died because of contaminated feed that it gave her, after denying that for more than a decade.

At an inquest on Tuesday, Guy’s and St Thomas’ trust said it had given Aviva Otte a nutritional product containing deadly bacteria in January 2014. It had previously insisted to her mother, a coroner and the Guardian on multiple occasions that she had died of natural causes.

The change in GSTT’s explanation of Aviva’s death came during the second day of an inquest into her death and the deaths of two other babies in a separate outbreak of Bacillus cereus five months later.

Giving evidence at Southwark coroner’s court in London, Dr Grenville Fox – a senior consultant neonatologist who worked in the neonatal unit where Aviva was treated – said that it was now his opinion that the parenteral nutrition she received was the main cause of her death.

English culture around "image" is sooo toxic, exemplified by this and the Lucy Letby case. Rather let babies die and cover it up than admit you're not perfect
