Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is a huge unanswered question in the story I'm
about to tell you, But first the facts as we
know them. Lynda Hampton is a preschool teacher in the
Waco Independent Public School District. She saw that one of
her young students was in distress. The little boy had

finger sweep isn't what you think it is. The teacher
cleared out the boy's mouth with her finger, pulling out
