A Florida mother was arrested Thursday after filming a now-viral video of her daughter licking a tongue depressor before putting it back at a medical center. Cori Ward, 30, was arrested and charged with tampering with a consumer product without regard for possible death or bodily injuries ...
Ward said she recorded the video in an exam room at the All About Kids and Families Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL, before posting it to Snapchat. In the video, which has since been reposted to Facebook, a hand reaches into the jar of wooden tongue depressors before the girl reaches inside to take one. Then, she licks it and puts it back in the jar.
A sign posted above the jar reads "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH MEDICAL SUPPLIES! THANK YOU!"
The Snapchat video was captioned, Dont tell me how to live my life.
The medical center condemned the incident and has since removed the materials that were in the exam room, News4Jax reported. "This type of behavior is not tolerated at All About Kids and Families Medical Center, it wrote in a statement. Each year, we serve thousands of patients, and providing quality care and ensuring their safety is our top priority."
Her video has since inspired copycats in other states.

(16,254 posts)How can you dumb-down a population so quickly. This is totally uncalled for and something most people would never even consider.
I hope they fine her butt off.

That is disgusting.
We have a few jerky families in our pediatric practice. Very demanding, very critical. When they get really pissed off and threaten, "I just might have to go to a different practice," we always silently think, "Please do, the sooner the better."
