British Teen Suffers Painful Shark Attack in His Bedroom
One unlucky British teen suffered a painful shark attack without ever going near the water. In fact, he was bitten in the face by one of the sharp-fanged animals in his own bedroom, Metro.co.uk reported.
The “attack” happened at 14-year-old Sam Hawthorne’s home in Dudley, England.
Hawthorne was sleepwalking when the teeth of a dead souvenir shark from a family vacation, that hangs on the wall of his nautical-themed bedroom, became embedded in his face.
The teeth left blood pouring from the teen’s face, his mother, Susan, told Metro.co.uk.
“It was like something out of a horror film,” she said. “The shark must have been embedded in Sam’s cheek for about 15 minutes and he was in a lot of pain.”
In the end, Hawthorne came away with only a small scar. “It was the most frightening experience of my life,” he told Metro.co.uk.

Now let me say, I have children. With children, some damn strange accidents can and will happen. Freak accidents where a kid trips over thin air, falls and breaks his arm. Or just this weekend when my 9 year old daughter was having a first sewing lesson with the sewing machine and the needle went through her finger until the grandmother in charge of the lesson reversed the needle back out. There was a lot of blood and a lot of pain (at least according to my daughter).
But tell me, what kind of person decided this was news worthy? The parents who thought it was interesting that the kid sleepwalked into something hanging on the wall? Like that has never happened before to any other kid in the world? I bet I know some mothers who can related a lot better story of some weird thing their kids (or they did as a kid) has done.
I hate the media.
