Dad Hears 'Weird Noise' From Toddler in Car—Left Traumatized by What's Seen
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A family from Tennessee was on their way to dinner when their journey turned into every parent's worst nightmare. Jordan and Rachel Flom were headed to eat with their four young children, including a set of toddler triplets and their 4-year-old daughter. Their 1-year-old son, Lachlan, was sitting behind his dad while playing with his Xonteus Telescopic Suction Cup Giraffe Toy—sold by Amazon—when he began moving his arms around. Split view of suction giraffe toy and boy toddler. Split view of suction giraffe toy and boy toddler. Jordan Flom "I started to notice a [weird] noise coming from him," Jordan told Newsweek. "It was almost like trying to clear his throat." Fortunately, the family had installed a small camera on the dashboard, angled to capture the rear-facing car seats. "Right away, just was kind of like, 'Hey, babe, I think Lachlan is choking'," Jordan said to his wife. "So then we looked at it, and he started to look more panicked; his hands were going." Instantly, Rachel unbuckled her seat belt so she could get a better look at Lachlan who still wasn't making much noise—an ominous sign when a child is choking. Rachel confirmed their worst fear: he was choking. "I slammed on the brakes as quick as I could … and instantly opened my door," Jordan said. "I grabbed him, ran to the front of the car and put him on my forearm and just started hitting his back. "[It] probably took … eight good hits, and then he did a big kind of throw-up cough and out came this little yellow piece." Lachlan began to cry—an overwhelming sound of relief. Strangers pulled up behind the family's minivan having seen the vehicle swerve off the road, but thankfully the crisis had passed. Jordan shared what happened on Facebook as a reminder to other parents that kids' toys can easily be pulled apart and urge people to have a camera or mirror to see their children in the backseat. The post received more than 36,000 reactions, 14,000 shares and over 5,300 comments. "Totally understand. One of our triplets choked on a chunk of cheese and started turning blue, thank god hitting his back did the trick too," one user wrote. An experienced CPR instructor also urged other parents to take a first-aid training class to prevent circumstances like this from happening. "I'm so sorry this happened, I'm thankful he is ok. Praise God you were able to hear him and knew something was off. So if you [haven't] already done so, please take a CPR class. It's invaluable," they wrote. Jordan told Newsweek that he was surprised at how many people commented saying they had the same toy. "I think a lot of people buy that toy for little kids because it entertains them [and] it goes against the window, but they love to chew on that soft material, so that can come off," he added. "We'll never play with that one again." Jordan said installing a basic child-facing camera is a small investment that could be lifesaving. "Our adrenaline took over, and I think back and it's, like, there wasn't one moment where we were thinking what to do; we were just doing it," he said. "If we would have been listening to loud music and not paying attention, it probably would have taken 30 seconds of not looking at him and not hearing him to arrive and then all of a sudden … see that we lost one."

Spartan golfer Ashton McCulloch has tough first round at 2025 Rocket Classic
With the PGA Tour returning to Detroit for the Rocket Classic, and the headlining sponsor being Rocket Mortgage, a major partner with MSU, recent MSU senior Ashton McCulloch was given a sponsors exemption into the field for the 2025 event. The event, taking place at Detroit Golf Club, was McCulloch's fourth event on the PGA Tour, while still competing as an amateur. The Spartan was looking to make his first cut on the tour, narrowly missing the cut by one stroke earlier this year at the RBC Canadian Open. Unfortunately for McCulloch, it was not his day on the course. An eight bogey, two birdie day left him at a final score of 78 (+6) on the day. While making the cut is highly improbable, McCulloch will still play his second round on Friday with an 8:57 a.m. tee time on the first tee.

Carlos Sainz Sr. confirms he's not running to lead auto racing governing body
LONDON (AP) — Carlos Sainz Sr. has confirmed he won't run for the presidency of the FIA — the governing body for auto racing series like Formula 1. The 63-year-old Sainz, the father of F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr., announced Wednesday that his decision followed months spent trying to 'understand in depth the situation at the FIA' as well as the 'demands and complexities' of the job. "After a thoughtful reflection, I have come to the conclusion that the present circumstances are not ideal to set the grounds for my candidacy," the two-time World Rally champion wrote in a statement on Instagram. Ben Sulayem, elected to the post in 2021, has faced criticism over his management. In April, Robert Reid resigned as FIA deputy president for sport in protest at how the organization is run. Ben Sulayem has also been at odds with F1 drivers over his crackdown in swearing.
