Mum begged doctors to listen after toddler screamed in pain

A toddler who was suffering from back pain was later diagnosed with a brain condition after his mum begged doctors to listen.

Samantha McGee, from Knowsley Village, said her son Lenny told her his lower back was hurting as he sat in his car seat one day after nursery. The 32-year-old said as Lenny was only one at the time, she thought he may have fallen over in nursery.

However, this happened on a few occasions and one day as Lenny was playing on the floor he screamed in pain. Samantha and her husband rushed Lenny to A&E and after checks were told the toddler was fine.
