Newspaper Article 2 Children, a Boy and a Girl, Shocks the Public with their Miraculous Survival Shaun. W, (4/3/11) Just yesterday around 12pm, the parents of 2 siblings, a boy and a girl, called 911 to attend to their son after what they described their son experiencing as, "Severe and repeated headaches". After the police interviewed them, it was known that on the previous day, their children had apparently 'rolled down the hill' and 'came back with serious injuries'. The parents did not immediately call for the ambulance, but instead wrapped their son's head with 'brown paper soaked in vinegar'. A bystander that preferred to stay as anonymous commented that he thinks that the boy's injury might have got inflammation. At the current moment, the boy, Jack, is still being warded at the hospital. "If I had known...I would have never let them go out without my supervision!" the mother of the family said in between sobs. The sister, who's injuries had not been so serious, also commented, "I was fetching a pail of water with my lil' bro! I tried to help him, I did!".
