That happened to our neighbor boy years ago, he lost his foot and wore a prosthetic leg, did wonderfully well, played sports and is an outstanding young man who went to college and has a great job, too bad it happened, lawn mowers are not toys and children need to be taught that, but accidents do happen. Hopefully this incident will make others aware of the dangers. Good luck to the young boy and his family.

I work in a pediatric unit in a large hospital and we see so many of these cases each year! Please, parents, do not let your children operate lawn mowers. Don't let children ride with you on a lawn mower. Don't even have them outside when you are mowing. It's not worth the pain and suffering they go through by losing toes, feet, etc.

Your son is all my kids can talk about. One of my boys is in 4th grade and they dedicated field day to Jakob. We are thinking about your family and keeping them in our prayers.

The accident is such a terrible tragedy, and the decision to amputate could not have been easy. My heart goes out to your family. Kids adapt well though, and the fact that he still has use of his knee will give him a wide range of mobility. Speaking from personal experience, I know things will work out.

That poor baby. Just a reminder of how careful we need to be when there are children in our lives. He will be in my thoughts.
