Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of London
I am looking for witnesses to an accident on Saturday, December 14th at the intersection of Adelaide and Cheapside. It was a black ford hit by a green toyota. I was hit on a left-hand turn by someone speeding through a yellow-turning-red when all other vehicles had been stopped and the intersection cleared for some time. I called 911 but the police didn't show up. I need witnesses to this person running the red and hitting me because without witnesses or police charges, it's always the person turning left who's at fault - even if the light is red and the traffic is still.

So this has been bothing me since Tuesday and I need to share.
My son who is 8 years old went to Lacasse Park in Tecumseh with his Respite Worker. It was their first day together after a few months of me trying to find one for him with no luck, but that's not the problem.
While they were out I received a phone call from a private name, private number, it was a police officer asking if I knew that my son was with this man This man who by the way has a police clearance in order to become a respite worker, this man who I had interviewed a week prior.
All because 3 woman noticed that my son didn't look like the man he was with, so their conclusion of the situation was that the man isn't his father, so he must be kidnapped because he's calling the man by his first name.
1st thank you for being that concerned, but 2nd please people be aware that not all children with Respite Workers are in wheel chairs, or have Autisim, or Down Syndrom, some kids have mental health issues, and hidden behaviour issues and need a Respite Worker. 3rd that man my child was with could have been an uncle, family friend, neighbor or a boyfriend of mine, because my son's father isn't around and hasn't been for 5 years.
Please when being observant, you keep all factors in mind before calling 911 and reporting things.
Thank you to the wonderful woman who I encountered at a Shell station in London this past week. She made sure my car was cleaned off from the snow, made arrangements for someone to top up my windshield fluid and generally made sure I was OK. My partner recently had open heart surgery and I was overwhelmed with the weather and the general circumstances. I never got her name but what a wonderful example she set before her children who were in her vehicle. Again, thank you so very much.
Thanks to the kind young woman who was walking in the industrial section of London (near the airport) this afternoon.
She was nice enough to get out her cell phone to look up directions on how I could access the Westbound 401 to the Windsor area so that I could get home to my husband who was anxiously awaiting my return. I enjoyed passing through your city and arriving home a little late, but safe! Time for a GPS, a cell phone or at least a map, I think!
I had the most horrifying thing happened today leaving Wal-Mart. My daughter was eating a candy she decided to swallow the whole thing it got stuck in her throat. They could not get it out she was gagging her face went white and purple she couldn't breathe. I didn't know what to do I was trying everything and i was screaming for help. I had a couple come running up to me trying to help but nothing was working we could not get it out of her throat. For a minute she stopped breathing, gagging and stopped moving.
This older lady came running up to us, grabbed Jordan out of his arms and gave her the baby Heimlich. If it wasn't for her who knows what would have happened! I wish I would have got her name, thank God that you showed up and saved my little girl. You are an angel in my eyes, Jordan is now home and everything is good, just have to keep an eye on her breathing. When you think you're prepared for everything and something like that happens I felt so hopeless for my child. Everything I was doing wasn't helping her, watching your child trying to breathe but can't it's the worst feeling ever. So again to this amazing lady who helped my little girl I want to say thank you so much
God bless you xoxo
