IMPORTANT
Moms and Dads please read!
McDonalds, Chuck E Cheese, Discovery Zone... 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!
This is very disturbing news. In addition to the following true story...
One son lost his watch, and was very upset. We dug and dug in those balls,
trying to find the 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. Now read this:
PRETTY
SCARY!!
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 intohis
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.
If a child is not safe in a child's play area then where? You can find
the
article on Kevin Archer in the October 10,1999 issue of the Midland
Chronicle.
Please forward this to all loving mothers, fathers and anyone who loves and
cares for children!
Don't think it's just McDonald's either or that this is something that just
started. When my oldest son who is now 9 was small the area Burger King
closed their play area for
awhile for "remodeling" because in another town
there had been an incident similar to the one described above that happen @
a Burger King.
A little boy had been playing in a ball pit & started complaining of his
legs hurting. He later died too. He was found to have snake bites all over
his legs & buttocks. When they cleaned the ball pit they found that there
was a copperhead nest in the ball pit. He had suffered numerous bites from
a
very poisonous snake.
Repost this if it scares the crap out of you! Repost this if you care about
our kids!!!
AND FYI:
In Florida and other places on the East Coast a group of people are putting
HIV/AIDS infected and filled needles underneath gas pump handles, so when
someone reaches to pick it up and put gas in their car,
they get stabbed
with it. 16 people have been a victim of this crime so far and 10 tested
HIV
positive. Instead of posting that stupid crap about how your love life will
suck for years to come of you don't re-post, post this. It's important
to
inform people, even if you don't drive, a family member might, and what if
they were next? CHECK UNDER THE HANDLE BEFORE YOU GRAB IT!!! IT MIGHT SAVE
YOUR LIFE! Tell as many people as you can about this serious issue, Repost
