Toddler News in Brief
*A surgeon removed a tumor from the brain of an infant. In the tumor were a perfectly formed foot and hand and thigh — a rare and extremely unique occurrence. It is speculated that it is a complex congenital tumor, or perhaps “fetus in fetu”, which occurs when a twin develops inside the other twin. For it to occur in the brain, however, is unheard of. The infant is recovering fine but will return for follow up visits to make sure no other tumors occur.
*In New Jersey, a cake decorator refused to decorate a cake with the three-year-old birthday boy’s name, Adolf Hitler Campbell. The mother claims that it’s “unfortunate” that a boy can’t even have his own name on his cake…
*The skeletal remains of Caylee Anthony were found.
*A thief stole a vehicle containing a toddler while the father ran inside a restaurant to pick up a food order. The car was found 20 minutes later, the car and heat still running and the toddler safe and sound asleep. Police had received an anonymous call letting them know where to find the kid.
