The family of a two -year -old girl who died in creche after choking in a single pea, has been opened over their testing and says that they are 'tortured every day'.
Little Lauren Boland was on January 18, 2023 to the Little Explorers Center in Greystones, County Wicklow in Ireland when the tragic event took place.
An investigation at the Coroner's Court of the Dublin District heard that a postmortem showed that the food item – with measuring 11×5 millimeters – was sufficient to hinder Lauren's airways at the narrowest point.
CCTV images of the crèche showed that the toddler became visibly sadly sad at 12.06 hours shortly after she had served her lunch, the Irish Mirror reports.
Lauren's father, Matt Boland, described how his daughter was always happy and smiled and never had health problems.
He remembered that the little girl had directed to the moon and said 'sun' when he dropped her off that morning, adding that it was “the last thing she said to me.”
Mr. Boland described the scene about reaching the crèche after he had been warned by his wife and said that everyone was crying and there was a feeling of panic.
He described how he held the hand of his daughter and told her he loved her.

Someone announced that the heart of the father Lauren had stopped for 40 minutes before she was placed in an ambulance.
The two -year -old, described as a 'feral of sunshine' and 'the light of our lives', later suffered a cardiac arrest and died in the arms of her parents.
After the investigation, Lauren's mother, Lisa, said: 'We are tortured every day with the What IFS and how things should be and should be different.
“The unfairness that Lauren are not with us weighs so heavy and we are still not able to understand how this happened to our little girl.”
Coroner Clare Keane called for an evaluation of food guidelines over the suffocation of dangers for children and to consider it to be given to the mandatory availability of defibrillators at all childcare facilities.
Mrs. Boland told the events in more detail and said that at 12.17 pm she was contacted by the day care center that explained that her daughter had swallowed a pea who got stuck.
Mrs. Boland said that she “shouted in pure shock” when she saw her daughter lying on the crèche floor, a light green color, with her skin feeling cold.
She reported that she was trying to give word of mouth to Lauren before she was advised by Crème Staf, it would not make sense because of something that blocks her airways.

The mother said it seemed as if the staff were frozen in shock and did not know what to do, reminded that she was told to calm down or would have to leave else.
Intermediate manager at the Create, Karen Kinsella, indicated that Lauren points to her throat and was craving air shortly after she coughed while eating her lunch.
Mrs. Kinsella said she gave the toddler a number of blows on the back and sought help from another staff when she feared that the girl might have been choking.
In response to questions from the coroner, the employee added that she would not like anything when she looked at Lauren's mouth.
Debbie Cassidy-Canavan, assistant manager at the Create, gave instructions to make attempts to resuscitate the toddler, but described to feel disbelief when she realized: “This is not going as we had hoped.”
Two other crèche Staf, Grace Kennedy and Amy Roberts, also reported that they had provided resuscitation before Community First Aid Responders and Paramedics arrived.
A director of the company that operates the Little Explorers Center, Gina McGarry, said that no problems had been identified after a complete assessment of the policy and the procedures of the crew.
She added that defibrillators were now being provided in all his centers and insisted that all managers were trained in an advanced form of first aid reaction.
Lisa Boland, sobbing, described her toddler daughter as 'the brightest star' and 'The light of our lives'.
It comes after Mrs. Boland said that she would never know why nobody was thinking about pediatric pads for use with the defibrillator that she thought was available in the nearby supermarket and pharmacy.
Mrs. McGarry confirmed that four crèche employees were trained on the day of the event, despite the fact that instructions only a minimum of one requirements.
It was heard that the director of the public persecutions had not directed any criminal prosecution, should arise after an investigation into the death of Lauren.
Pathologist, John O'Neill, confirmed that Lauren died as a result of a lack of oxygen in the brain because of a long -term cardiorspiratory arrest caused by a stifling episode.
A judgment of setbacks was concluded, with the Council of the Van Lauren family said that the toddler had been in a controlled environment.
However, a number of issues were identified by Mr. Martin -Smith, such as a Heimlich maneuver that is only tried – and called an ambulance – after Lauren was assisted on the spot by the third first aid responder.
But the counselor of the Create, Veronica Mcinerney BL, argued that a judgment of accidental death would be the right finding, because several Create employees had acted immediately and had followed guidelines for first aid training.
Mrs. Boland described her daughter as 'the brightest star' and 'the light of our lives'.
She sobbed repeatedly and said: 'She brought a sense of magic to everyday. Her warmth and love for life was simply contagious, just like her big smile and savory smile. '
Asked for a comment after the investigation, the couple said: 'We trusted that Lauren would be safe. Every child in this country deserves to be safe and to feel safe. Lessons must be learned for the safety of each child in this country. '
