I was shocked to see a baby impaled by car key so thought to share it with you guys.
A one-year-old boy has had an incredible escape after being stabbed through the eye with a car key.
Nicholas Holderman accidentally fell on his parents' keys while playing in the US state of Kentucky.
An X-ray showed the key went through his eyelid and penetrated the boy's brain.
It was a very horrifying sight to see this happen to your baby.

Nicholas's mother Staci said: "I'll never forget that moment. Nothing can prepare you for something like that."
Doctors told the family the keys could be taken out without damaging the boy's brain but his eye had been ruptured.
Despite the parent's mounting fears, surgeons removed the key without causing any damage.
Just 15 minutes later, the medical team were amazed to discover that his eyesight was totally unaffected.
More than two months later, Nicholas is a hero in his hometown of Perryville.
"Everyone will say, 'which eye is it?'" Mrs Holderman said.
"We all grin and look at him and are so thankful and are reminded every day of what a miracle it truly is."
