Does this even make sense? Did this mother overreact?

Judge Judy. Woman was suing her babysitter, claiming the baby, 12 months old, put a sticker in his mouth and it became lodged in the back of his throat and he had to have surgery to have it removed.
The baby sitter said she saw the kid grab the sticker, which was on the table with other stickers because they were doing arts and crafts, and put it in his mouth.
The baby sitter said it got stuck on the roof of his mouth not in the back of his throat.
As she was trying to remove it the mom came to pick up the kid, and said she’d take him to the hospital instead.
Again the mother repeated it had become lodged in the back of his throat, but the report from the ER said it was stuck to the roof of his mouth.
Also, the mother said when they removed the sticker, it pulled some skin off with it. << I call bullshit on that!
Then she attributed all kinds of medical things that arose over the next few weeks, a fever, a stomach infection, to the fact that the kid had that sticker in his mouth.
JJ said there was no evidence that the later illnesses were at all related to the sticker incident.
However, she did say the babysitter had to pay the $200 that the mother’s insurance didn’t pay.

That whole thing sounded just insane to me. Did that mother over react? Did it really require a trip to the ER? She had two other, older kids, one of whom had gotten stitches at one point a few years earlier, so it wasn’t like the baby was her first trip around the block.

One time, when my kids were little, a friend of mine with kids the same age, came over. The kids were on the floor coloring, and there was a small lamp with no shade, on the floor in front of them. One of her kids reached over the lamp to get a crayon and accidentally touched the bare bulb with her arm. She yelped, because it stung, obviously. Well, I didn’t see a thing beyond a bit of redness, but my friend just wigged out and rushed the kid off to the ER! I thought it was ridiculous. All they did was rinse it with sterilized water.
Then my friend just marveled at how quickly it healed. WELL THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO DAMAGE TO BEGIN WITH!

Do you think they were both crazy? I kinda do. But, then again, trips to the ER for actual ER things became pretty common place when my son was trying to grow up. He just couldn’t seem to do it without bleeding all over the place all the time. It got to the point that I’d just heave a sigh, and off we’d go again. All the blood and gaping flesh didn’t bother me a bit any more.
