WARNING FOR CHILDREN !!!
PLEASE CIRCULATE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE KIDS, APO AT APO SA TUHOD AND FRIENDS. THIS IS SCARY.
McDonalds, Ikea, Go Banannas, 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, faeces, 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.
Hi. My name is Lauren Archer. On October 2nd, 1999 I
took my only son Kevin 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 "Mummy, 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 lollies, nappies, faeces, and the
stench of urine. (You can find the article on Kevin
Archer in the October 10,1999 issue of the Midland
Chronicle.)
Don't think it's just McDonald's either. A little
boy had been playing in a ball pit @ a Hungry Jacks &
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's nest in the ball
pit. He had suffered numerous bites from a very
poisonous snake.
