SANFORD, Fla. -- The family of a 7-year-old boy in Sanford who was rushed to an emergency room after he accidentally swallowed his "grill" -- or decorative metal mouth piece -- is concerned because the apparatus remains in his stomach. Bobby Tedesco placed the grill over the teeth after his mother purchased it for $10 at a flea market. Bobby said the grill fell out off his teeth and he started choking on it. His mother, Dawn Tedesco, attempted to clear his throat, but he swallowed the grill. An X-ray taken three days after incident showed the grill in Bobby's stomach. Doctors said there is only one way for the grill to exit.
"Once they X-rayed it, they said they saw it in his stomach (and) that it should pass in one to three days. But now we're going on the third day and still no grill, so I'm a little concerned about what's going to happen," Dawn Tedesco said.
Bobby's mother said she regrets purchasing the grill and warned other parents to beware of the hazard they can present.
"I think everybody should know (not to) buy them. Don't do it," Dawn Tedesco said.
The grill did come with a warning, advising parents to supervise children under the age of 12 who wear the apparatuses. The American Dental Association does not recommend the wearing of grills, saying they can store bacteria.

Poor kid. What were his parents thinking though? Buying a grill from a flea market?
-
What were his parents thinking at all by buying him a grill?
-
So the big question is...what color will his poop be?
Has anyone here ever bought anything from a flea market? I have, but it wasn't something you put in your mouth.
-
What's the big draw of grills anyway?
I doubt that there's any need to get ladys when your only 7.

Two things immediately crossed my mind: WT, and F. Seriously, a seven-year-old's parents got him a mouth grill from a FLEA MARKET. I mean, was it used? I suspect this will end up in no time on Mind of Mencia or whatever.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Dee Dee Dee!

Dedede?

Maybe I'm behind the times or something, but what the heck is a grill in the first place?
-
They are very silly. Observe:

Dang Koopaslaya. You beat me to it. :P
-
Aye, very silly indeed. I don't get how some girls think it's hot. I seriously don't.
Meh, I think buying a kid a grill is promoting being a thug.
My mother and I, we despise these things. We say that they're "ridiculous".
This is more ridiculous than your find, though.

That is absolutely hideous. It looks like that guy's braces were wielded to his teeth...
I've never found having lots and lots of metallic objects on your body as making you look appealing. I see it as tacky.
-
Yikes! Now I'm sorry that I asked. Those things look horrid!
-
Yeah, I think they're pretty gross. For some reason, they look painful to wear, though I've never actually tried them.
-
Serves him right--those things are retarded. ...No, actually, I think his parents are the ones that need to feel the pain, buying him rapmaster tinselteeth at a street sale (you know I think this started? Some gangsta got saddled with braces and turned it into a fashion statement. That's how the whole baggy pants thing got popular: Loose prison pants. Honest truth.)
Wait... stomach bling now...! Keep it real, kid!
-
I like grillz because they would allow me to instruct someone to "back up off m'grill".
-
Well here's the problem: parents buying things for their 7 year old kid, with out properly explaining what it is or how to use it first! Serves the kid right for using it improperly, anyway!
.. and the parents!
Let's buy little Billy something he doesnt' even know how to use properly yet!
How about this tacky tooth decal?
"Grill?" OK!
-
Hey, at least they didn't get him a butt piercing or nose ring. How would he explain swallowing that?
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Er, I mean that's rough. I know that I wouldn't want some hunk of cheap metal in my stomach. Stupid people with their stupid "bling." One more for the road...HAHAHAHAHAH.
