McDonalds,  Chuck E Cheese, Burger King, Discovery
 
 Zone... All places with  ball  pits
 
 in the  children*s play area. One of my
 
 sons lost his watch, and was
 
 very  upset.
 
 
 We dug and  dug in those balls, trying to
 
 find his watch. Instead, we
 
 found  vomit,
 
 food, feces, and other stuff I do not
 
 want to  discuss.
 
 
 I went to  the manager and raised hell.
 
 Come to find out, the ball pit
 
 is only  cleaned out
 
 once a month. I have doubts that it is
 
 even done that  often. My kids
 
 will never play in
 
 another ball pit.
 
 
 Some of you  might not be parents, but
 
 you may have nieces,  nephews,
 
 grandchildren, or
 
 friends with children. This will  pertain
 
 to you too. As I read the
 
 following, my heart sank. I urge  each
 
 and every one of you to pass this
 
 on to as many people as you  can. I
 
 cannot stress how important this is!
 
 
 
 Hi. My name  is Lauren Archer, my son
 
 Kevin and I lived in Midland , TN.
 
 
 
 On October  2nd, 1999 I took my only son
 
 to McDonald's for his  3rd
 
 birthday.
 
 
 
 After he  finished lunch, I allowed him
 
 to play in the ball pit. When  he
 
 started whining later on, I asked him
 
 what was wrong, he pointed  to the
 
 back of his pull-up and simply said
 
 'Mommy, it hurts.' I  couldn't find
 
 anything wrong with him at that time. I
 
 bathed him  when we got home, and
 
 it was at that point when I found a welt
 
 on  his left buttock.
 
 
 Upon  investigating, it seemed as if
 
 there was something like a  splinter
 
 under the welt. I made an
 
 appointment to see the doctor the  next
 
 day, but soon he started
 
 vomiting and shaking, then his  eyes
 
 rolled back into his head. From
 
 there, we went to the  emergency
 
 room. He died later that night.
 
 
 It turned  out that the welt on his
 
 buttock was the tip of a hypodermic
 
 needle  that
 
 had broken off inside.
 
 
 
 The autopsy  revealed that Kevin had died
 
 from a heroine overdose. The
 
 next  week,
 
 the police removed the balls from the
 
 ball pit. There was  rotten food,
 
 several
 
 hypodermic needles: some full, some
 
 used;  knives, half-eaten candy,
 
 diapers, feces, and
 
  the stench of  urine.

About all I can think of to say, as my stomach turns, is "Oh, my God!  What next?"

Excellent, Char!
 
 
Thanks for using that open and thinking mind of yours!
 
 
I pray your research proves it to be a false report for whatever reason!

I believe it! Just drive down any highway, street or drive through any parking lot, or any other public gathering area, it seems people throw trash where ever and when ever they want There are very few people out there in this world that care or consider what their carelessness and outright pigish behavior may inflinct or infect another person's life, and than you have PCer's a rare breed if you ask me<. You guys are the best in human kindness (((((((HUGS)))))) |
