My baby died of whooping cough after doctors sent him home three times

 This is so wrong a mother has spoken of her devastation following the death of her baby boy who died of whooping cough despite doctors sending him home three times. 
Nine days later his mother Semray Mentes was forced to bring him back because he was vomiting and had a runny nose and cough. 
Semray says she was treated like a 'silly 18-year-old' by medics.

The child was finally admitted on his fourth visit but Cavani-Cruz died at midnight on March 14 with his parents and family by his bedside. 
In April a post mortem examination concluded that the little boy had been suffering from untreated 
whooping cough which led to organ failure. 
Semray told The Sunday Mirror: 'If my baby had been diagnosed correctly he would still be here. I want to do everything in my power to get justice for my son and to stop this from happening to other
families.' 
Semray is also taking action against the midwife service because she claims she was not offered a whooping cough vaccine during pregnancy.
