Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A child was served concentrated dish detergent instead of water at a preschool in Sande, Vestfold county, Norway. The child was later hospitalized.

The preschool has explained that they had confused a jug of water with a jug full of dish detergent, according to Drammens Tidende^[Local newspaper for Drammen, a major city and Oslo suburb near Sande.].

—"When the child was given something to drink, it unfortunately came from a misidentified container of concentrated dish detergent, which was poorly marked, incorrectly placed, and not checked by the person pouring it. No other children were served dish detergent," the preschool writes in a statement to the parents.

The preschool says that the mistake was quickly discovered, and that the child drank no more than one or two sips of the dish detergent. The preschool contacted poison control for advice but did not call 113 [emergency number for ambulances]; it was the child's parents who called 113 when they arrived, and the child was hospitalized.

The newspaper writes that the child was discharged from the hospital after a few days, but is now back at the hospital for further treatment.

Drammens Tidende has contacted the head of the preschool, who directed them to the central offices of {Læringsverkstedet.|lit. "The Learning Workshop"} Læringsverkstedet is a chain of preschools^[One of the largest private preschool chains in Norway, in fact: 236 preschools taking care of ~18,000 children in 2019.].

—"We are first and foremost deeply sorry for what has happened, and we are now focused on caring for the child and family," writes Læringsverkstedet's leader of public relations Ragnar Sagdahl.

Unbelievable! Next you'll be telling me that the westernmost and easternmost parts of the state are as distant as San Francisco is to Miami, or Lisbon to Istanbul!

Well, I guess it was worth a shot. If I heard about it I would've figured it would've been even bigger news in Alaska.

Edit: I guess you could say JUNEAU nothing about your state's capital haaaw haw haw haw [gets dragged off stage by comically large cane]
