In East Moline, Illinois there was razor blades glued to some of the playground equipment at Millennium Park. The blades were discovered when a 2-year-old little boy was cut by one of the blades on the monkey bars. "He said, 'Ouch,'" Sally Jenks, the boy's mom, told the station. "He started bleeding and we looked and they [the razors] were everywhere." Police in the area started to confiscate the blades and other materials also. They were everywhere the monkey bars, fire poles, and the bottom of the slides. A little boy said they were all faced upward so that when someone grabbed the bars it would hit heir wrist or hands. "It's pretty sick. Psychotic. Luckily, it wasn't deeper. He wasn’t old enough to put his weight on the monkey bars," Jason Kenney, the boy's dad, reportedly said. "What if he didn't cut his hand and he slit his wrist?"
Analysis:
This is crazy, absolutely ridiculous, who in their right mind would do this. Children are at that park everyday, I'm guessing that it was their intention to hurt the children. Who just gets up and says hmm let me go out some razor blades and out them in a park with little kids. Our society today is sick, if I was involved with this in anyway I would install cameras. I feel like we feel too safe when we shouldn't because honestly our world is getting out of control.

This is just plain ridiculous, however I am glad that the damages where minimal. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt.
ReplyDeleteI heard about this happening! It's really terrible that someone would try to hurt an innocent child. I just hope that it doesn't happen again, but there's no guarantee that it won't until they catch whoever did this.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We live in a pretty sick world these days, and the even sadder part is that the people who did this were probably young people who were just bored - since boredom seems to have become a common motive for crime these days.
