Eight Children Hospitalized in Massachusetts After Seizure-Like Symptoms at Church Event

Eight children were hospitalized in Massachusetts after suddenly falling ill with ‘seizure-like symptoms’ during a church concert outside Boston, officials said. The incident occurred Tuesday night at St. Paul’s Parish in Cambridge, where a traveling French youth choir was performing. Cambridge Fire Department Chief Thomas Cahill told WCVB that first responders were initially called about a child suffering from a seizure during the show, but when they arrived, the child appeared normal while sitting on the church’s front steps.
