A Jewish schoolboy who says his classmates hissed at him to replicate the sound of a gas chamber, as well as threatened to vandalise his house with swastikas, has fought to introduce a new class on 'contemporary antisemitism' in his school to challenge these views.

[Lyla's Law @triggersbroom17]

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Open invite to the general public, family, friends, businesses and any other organisation. Please share away.

I’m reaching out to you all to invite you to a special Family Fun Day at Goodfellowship Inn, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU5 4AT, on Saturday, August 1st, 2026, from 12pm until closing.

This event is being held in memory of our daughter, Lyla Story, and in support of the #LylasLaw Campaign, calling for routine testing for Type 1 Diabetes in babies, toddlers, children and adolescents when displaying any symptoms of the 4 T’s (Toileting, Thirsty, Tiredness and Thinning).

PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT ARE GOING TO HEY Kids Support Group, Hull & East Yorkshire’s T1D Voluntary Support and Advocacy Group.

The day will hopefully include a chocolate board, tombola, raffles, an auction, entertainment and much more. If you're able to donate a raffle prize, it would be greatly appreciated, but your presence and support are what matter most.

Why We’re Campaigning for Lyla’s Law:

Our daughter, Lyla Story, was just two years old, bright, caring, sharing, full of life, counting into her twenties, bouncing on her trampoline, and dancing every day.

On May 3rd, 2025, she tragically passed away in her sleep, less than 16 hours after being seen by a GP.

The morning before, she had been taken to the doctor by my wife (Lyla’s Mother) and my mother (her grandmother) and they advised the GP of several worrying symptoms:

• More wet nappies.

• Lethargy and extreme tiredness (she fell asleep during the appointment).

• Loss of appetite but drinking lots of fluids and she was even asking for water.

• Vomiting multiple times (including at the surgery and my mother pointing out that was the third time that morning), which was uncharacteristic for Lyla.

• Weight loss overnight.

• A large bowel movement 3 nights before her appointment and none since.

• Uncharacteristic quietness (she stopped talking) and lack of energy.

Despite these concerning signs, the GP only diagnosed her with Tonsillitis, prescribing antibiotics, and to keep giving Lyla Children’s Paracetamol. The GP advised my wife to monitor her and seek further care only if she didn’t improve in 24 hours.

Lyla passed away within 16 hours in her sleep next to my wife.

The cause of death was undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes, which led to Acute Diabetic Ketoacidosis and a gastrointestinal bleed. Lyla did not display any signs of Diabetes in the weeks leading up to her death, however, the GP did not detect that Lyla also had COVID 19, which accelerated her Diabetes symptoms rapidly, causing her immune system to break down quicker.

Young children are often unable to express or describe their symptoms. It is therefore crucial that General Practitioners take the time to thoroughly assess all presenting signs and symptoms, leaving no room for assumptions.

Had her symptoms been more thoroughly investigated, even a simple urine test could have revealed dangerously high levels of ketones. A timely diagnosis would have resulted in an urgent referral, as required by NICE Guideline NG18, and Lyla would likely be alive today, managing her condition safely.

Our daughter was failed by a system that too often overlooks the signs of Type 1 Diabetes in very young children.

Lyla isn’t an isolated case.

Lyla’s Law would ensure:

• Routine Type 1 Diabetes testing (urine and/or blood) in babies, toddlers, children and adolescents during medical consultations, where symptoms warrant it.

• Greater awareness and adherence to existing NICE guidelines among healthcare providers.

• The protection of vulnerable children who cannot speak for themselves.

Our daughter, and many others deserve better. If her story can save lives, then her legacy will live on.

Help us make sure no more children are lost due to missed or delayed diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. Let Lyla’s name stand for change.

We hope to see you there! Xx
