3. Breast milk mix up mega fail

The family whose newborn was involved in a breastmilk scare over the weekend has been once again the subject of a mix-up.

The three week old was undergoing an HIV test after a nurse mistakenly gave him the wrong bottle of breast milk.

On radio yesterday the hospital’s acting executive director Keith Love revealed that the woman whose breast milk was accidentally given to the baby was healthy.

However the family of the baby had not been informed yet. Mr Love told Fairfax radio, “The  results are all clear. We will be communicating it officially, immediately.”

The Brisbane Times reports that 4BC radio host Patrick Condren asked Mr Love if he wanted to put his interview on hold so he could tell the boy’s worried parents.

“So you can ring that family who are sitting at home just waiting to hear that. Can you do that for me?” Mr Condren said.

“If you want to put me on hold, I’m happy to do that,’ Mr Love said.

4. Second infant undergoing tests

Meanwhile The Courier Mail reports that a second infant will undergo blood tests after being given the wrong breast milk at the Logan Hospital. The mother of the second infant said yesterday that her baby would undergo HIV and hepatitis test next week.

5. Inquest into baby death

An inquest into the death of a newborn baby in Adelaide has heard that the obstetrician told the baby’s father “we got him out a bit too late”.

The Advertiser reports that George Darcy Key was born with  hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy and was later found to have severe  diffuse cortical necrosis and a white matter injury. He died several weeks after he was born in 2011.

The inquest will examine whether an under-sized palcenta could have been determined during pre natal examinations.

The inquest heard yesterday that midwives appeared panicky on the day of George’s birth when they could not get hold of their obstetrician, Dr Basil Antonas, but did not give them the option if using a different doctor.

Dr Antonas was performing an emergency caesarian section at a different hospital. George was born by caesarian section later that same night.

The inquest continues.

The father of a 12-year-old girl who forced his daughter to marry a 26-year-old man and gave her sex advice has been granted bail under new NSW bail laws.

The 61-year-old has been charged with procuring a child under 14 for unlawful sexual activities and being an accessory before the fact to sexual intercourse with a person under 14.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the Magistrate said the case against him was ‘‘abhorrent, disgusting and disgraceful’’.

The man is reported to have told police that he would allow his eight-year-old daughter to marry. ‘‘It’s a sexual intercourse ceremony, it’s not a marriage,’’ Magistrate Margaret Quinn said.

‘‘Why were they sleeping on the floor together and having sexual intercourse?’’

The 12-year-old girl’s 26-year-old ‘husband’ has had his student visa cancelled and been placed in immigration detention. He has already been charged with 25 counts of sexual intercourse with a child between 10 and 14 years.

The Herald Sun reports that over a week ‘cotton wool’ kids are being kept inside for up to three hours.

 12. Frisbee banned

There are some long faces in the canine world this morning, with the news that after some due diligence the time-honoured sport of Frisbee catching has been deemed too dangerous for the doggies of the world.

The Kennel Club in the UK has backed a decision by a country dog show to ban Frisbee catching on the grounds that it puts pets in danger of injury.

The Scruffs dog show in Cumbria scrapped both the ‘highest Frisbee catch’ and the ‘highest biscuit catch’ categories amid fears for the participants’ well being.

One of the show’s organisers, told the BBC, “We did some due diligence and reluctantly agreed that we should scrap the Frisbee category and amended the biscuit catching category so that the dogs are sitting down.”

In a move that kept some tails wagging, the award for the dog with the most appealing eyebrows went ahead.

13. Claims that KFC asked a 3-year-old to leave because of her facial injuries may be false: new report

A woman’s claim that her disfigured 3-year-old granddaughter was kicked out of a Jackson KFC in May was made up, an investigation has reportedly found.

Kelly Mullins made headlines earlier this month for claiming a KFC employee ordered little Victoria Wilcher out because of her severe scarring, which was caused by a mauling by three pit bulls.

“They just told us, they said, ‘We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers,’” Mullins told WAPT-TV.

Mullins raised more than $135,000 and was given $30,000 from KFC itself after making the claims.

But the Leader-Call reports that a review of surveillance tape found that Mullins and Victoria did not even visit the location in question, and no one matching the description of Mullins or little Victoria visited either KFC restaurant in Jackson.

A review of transactions at both restaurants found the items that Mullins said she had ordered weren’t included in the same order at any point, the newspaper reported.

The official findings of the investigation are expected next week.

14. News of the World hacking verdict

Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has been found guilty of plotting to hack phones during his time as editor, and now faces the possibility of jail following the high-profile trial.

But the jury has cleared ex-News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks of all charges. She — along with her husband Charlie, who was also cleared of one count of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice — walked free today from the trial at the Old Bailey in London.

Retired managing editor Stuart Kuttner was also cleared of being part of a conspiracy.

The jury has not come to a unanimous verdict on remaining bribery charges against Andy Coulson, the ABC reports. It is also still considering charges against former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office by paying police officers for two royal directories.

The defendants had all denied the charges.
