One afternoon in 2017, in 2017, just a few days after their son Mason turned four,

Nizhita and Dorian Setlari got a call from his daycare.

Mason was experiencing some pain, but he couldn't explain to them where he was just crying. And I go pick him up and I ask him I saw him he sitting on one corner of there

and just crying and pointing his hands in his belly, you know, I say my belly heart, my belly heart.

I pick him up and I bring her home.

After they brought him home, they gave him Tylenol and cooked his favorite food. But the next day,

Mason still wasn't feeling better. I touched his belly and it was descended

like very hard. And I told that we have to take him to doctor right away because

something is wrong something is going on. So the Sotlaris did what any parents

would do.

They took Mason to the nearest emergency room.

And what happened there changed Mason's life forever.

A Wall Street Journal investigation has found that a lot of emergency rooms in the U.S.

are unprepared to see children. Only about 14% of emergency rooms nationwide are certified to treat children or specialize in treating kids.

And most parents have no idea.

It's something that Set Lari's learned the hard way.

We saw ER, we thought it's a hospital.

He is sick, we're taken to the doctors, we trust the doctors.

Who you can trust if you don't trust it.
