Guys, Zachary is being operated on tonight by the foremost female surgeon in matters of the bowel and gastric etc.
What 7 News didn't say was the outrageous manner in which he has been treated. I also omitted that Zachary is autistic, he is highly intelligent but autism brings its challenges. He saw the bright shiny magnetic balls and the rest is history.

Finally...finally, politicians are getting involved. These Bucky Balls pose an enormous risk to every household which has them and kids in it.

Throw the bloody things to the s....house.

I am relieved and happy to report that after 3 hours of surgery the dreaded Bucky Balls were removed from Zachary, by a female surgeon (sorry I haven't got the name) at Westmead Children's' Hospital, the operation ewas completed at 1.45am thids morning.

At one stage she lost them but recovered the situation then moved them into the appendix where she was successful in their removal. They had turned black and another few days the toxicity would have leaked into Zachary and most probably killed him.

Thank God, thank God they are out

Well thats very good news. Do you think the balls should be banned altogether or just restricted to adults?

I have been to westmead childrens hospital when it opened and i knew a guy whose child was having a liver transplant there. I think it was the first in australia or something. I do wonder why you keep pointing out that the surgeon was female though - is there a significance?

Thaks for the support, too early to call. Could be years before we know. Let's hope little Zachary is out of harm's way for good.

I think the balls should be banned, totally banned. Even if they were restricted to adults, children will always find a way with something bright and shiny. And in the end what do they contiribute? They are only a shiny diversion from the monotony of life.

They should be renamed the Devil Balls for the danger that lurks within them.

Sorry I prolly worded that wrong. I meant to ask if you think they will be totally banned or restricted.

They seem from the website they are made from rare earths - highly toxic.

Not all rare earths are even toxic. Cerium Oxide for example is a major ingredient in dental ceramics. It's pretty harmless stuff.

The magnets in question are made from Neodymium Iron and Boron. Neodymium is quite a reactive metal but it's not particularly toxic. Even though Nd magnets are used in surgery, it's definitely not a good situation when they are leaching like that. The biggest danger is perforation. The toxicity is a secondary hazard if it's any consolation. Fortunately nothing in the magnets is accumulative.

I hope all goes well for your grandson, Red Baron.

Im constantly amazed at just what crap we allow to be sold in this country and Reds experience just shows that an easily avoided tragedy can be just around the corner.
Im glad the young fella has finally had these things removed and fingers crossed that no permanent damage has been done.
This sounds like its been a harrowing experience for all concerned so all the best to everyone involved.

The female surgeon incredibly worked then balls out of the bowel and into the appendix then removed the appendix with them inside. What wonderful people are out there.

Great news, poor little boy having to go through that for the sake of useless adult toys.

The surgeon is a hero, as most surgeons are (except Dr Patel)

I hope the balls have been safely discarded. Can you burn them? How do you dispose of those wretched things? I'd hate to think the tip cats end up eating them.
