Op, if your kid has choked so bad that he's needed an ambulance to come to the house more than twice (and to the point where your neighbours think you're being beaten all the time), than I think there's probably something wrong with his esophagus and you probably need to get him looked at (if you haven't already). People with normal functioning esophaguses don't choke all the time and haven't had the ambulance come several times. I'd be seriously concerned about this.

I would seriously be more worried about my child than what the neighbors think. Either OP needs to do a better job watching her kid and child-proofing the house, or her child has special needs or some kind of disorder—in which case OP needs to get some help managing things and taking care of her kid. That's definitely not normal. It's hard to say without all the information, but I think OP has her priorities and concerns in the wrong place.

Ya, "my child just chokes on things," isn't normal.

handy retrieval strings? WTF - why are people giving this a thumbs up??!

#34, I'm pretty sure he's making one of those things called 'a joke'.

I'd need to check the spelling, #37, but I /think/ that's what I was going for.

Why would the OP deserve being thought of as beaten if her older child choked a lot?

I think they mean if their child is a younger child - meaning they shouldn't be given access to things like whole hotdog slices or small legos which can be lodged in their throat easily. Op doesn't deserve it, but they should keep their child's age in mind when feeding them or giving them toys. If its an older child, the kid should know better by now but they still don't deserve it, accidents happen.

Then they would probably concoct some wild rumors that op is a child abuser.

Many abusers intentionally do damage to areas that will be hidden - back of the head, areas always covered by clothing - so as to avoid others reporting.
