Football Players ‘Deliberately Put Peanuts In Severely Allergic Teammate’s Locker’ In Heartbreaking Incident

After they “deliberately put peanuts into an allergic teammate’s locker,” adolescent football players have come under scrutiny.
At the age of nine months, Carter Mannon’s allergy to peanuts was identified.
He’s managed to lead a regular life and even join the Lake Travis High School varsity football team in Texas by being cautious.
But according to Mannon’s mother, his friends stocked his locker with potentially fatal amounts of peanuts after learning about his allergy.

Shawna Mannon tells People that she remembers the exact moment her son’s allergy became apparent: “My husband was making a peanut butter sandwich right next to him while he was sitting on the counter.” Carter accidentally smeared peanut butter over himself when he reached inside the container.
He immediately developed hives; they were just like his handprint. At that point, we understood, “Oh, he must be allergic.”


His severe allergy was well-recorded at his school.
He had actually had the same symptoms on a previous event when he inadvertently consumed a tainted cookie, necessitating two EpiPen doses and a hospital visit.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, perhaps fatal allergic reaction, according to the Mayo Clinic. The immune system unleashes a barrage of chemicals during anaphylaxis, which may send the body into shock. Breathing becomes difficult due to a quick drop in blood pressure and narrowing of the airways. You can develop a skin rash and a rapid, weak pulse. Additionally, you can feel queasy and throw up.The immediate treatment for anaphylaxis is an injection of epinephrine. It may be lethal if treatment is delayed.
Mannon experienced another frightening event following this shock, and according to his mother, it wasn’t an accident this time.
She claims that Mannon’s comrades chose to pull a potentially fatal “prank” on their fellow member who suffers from severe allergies.


Shawna clarifies: “They were teasing each other a little bit and asked, ‘But could it kill you if it touched you?’” “Yeah, it absolutely could,” he responds. It would cause anaphylactic shock if it got in his mouth, eyes, or nose. He then admitted to them that “yes, it could definitely kill me.”When they returned the following day, just before the game, they found peanuts in his cleats, on his jersey, and in his locker.
“They just kind of scattered a can of peanuts throughout his locker and put it in his cleats,” the source said.
Mannon reacted quickly and severely, breaking out in hives on his arm.
After the event was reported, the males implicated were made to swap locker rooms, bench for two days, and complete extra runs during practice.
Shawna, though, asserts that Mannon received criticism for this.


“The kid would flick him as he’s walking down the hall from behind,” the accuser says. There was a great deal of verbal abuse. Someone once placed a peanut butter granola bar in his backpack while he was in the locker room.
Shawna reported the claimed incident to the school board, but it was determined that it was not bullying.
“Bullying is a very specific behavior under the Texas Education Code, defined as an act or pattern of acts that physically harms a student or materially and substantially disrupts the educational process,” a spokeswoman of the Lake Travis Independent School District tells People. After our study was finished, we concluded that bullying did not meet the legal requirements.
Due to the abuse, Carter has since transferred schools; Shawna said she felt the school was “no longer a safe place for him.”

20 families had previously rejected an ‘unusual’ girl before a single man adopted her

The story of this cute family of two started when little Alba, who was just 13 days old back then, was rejected by 20 adoptive families.

The decision made by all these people not to embrace the special little girl turned lucky for the 41-year-old Italian Luca Trapanese.

When he filled in the adoption papers, Luca didn’t really believe the social services would allow him to become the legal father of Alba as in the country where he is from it is not common for single, homosexual man to be granted custody.

But, as all those families didn’t want to adopt a child with Down Syndrome, and Luca was more than happy to have such child in his life, he took Alba in and became her legal daddy.

The moment he welcomed sweet Alba into his life, he became the happiest person on Earth. Speaking of his daughter and his case, he said it was very special because it “destroys stereotypes about fatherhood, religion and family.”

The journey of these father and daughter started back in 2017 and they are stealing the hearts of many ever since.

Luka has a heart of gold. He has been part of many social service programs throughout the years and volunteered at various organizations who help people with special needs find their place in the society. Among the rest, he was part of the foundation “A Ruota Libera” which provided assistance for children with Down Syndrome.

This was one of the reasons why Luca wanted to adopt a child with Down Syndrom despite not having a partner.

Finalizing the adoption was a difficult process as adoption agencies prefer “traditional” families over the non-conventional ones.

“For me, a disabled child is not a second choice solution, but a conscious choice with respect to my vocation and my abilities,” Luca said.

Alba is a happy child with a vibrant personality. She loves being around people and enjoys playing and dancing.

We are so glad that the perception of people with Down Syndrome is changing and they are considered valuable part of the society.

As for Luca and Alba, we wish them all the best that life can bring!
