A shocking incident in the United Kingdom has shown that adverse effects can occur if parents do not pay attention towards their kids. A 2-year-old boy in Wales, United Kingdom has died after a piece of banana choked in his throat. The mother of a boy named Dial John James Gregg accidentally gave the baby a banana instead of a bottle of milk before going to bed.

According to North Wales Live News, the case dates back to July. The boy's mother, Daniel Butterley, said she had given the boy a banana instead of a bottle of milk, and she went to her room.
