ball pit hoaxes OT: [Fwd: McDonald's Ball Pit]

Be very careful when taking your kids, grandkids,nieces,nephews,etc. to the McDonald's Ball Pit play area. Ask the manager when was the last time they cleaned the play area out. Please read this even if you don't have children and forward it to everybody you can! This is so sad and so terrible!... 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. But 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 have it taken out 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 heroine overdose. The next week, the police removed the balls from the ball pit. There were 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 parents or anyone who loves children!
