Hoaxes,
Urban Legends… from an email:
Hi,
My name is Lauren Archer, my son Kevin and I lived in Sugarland, TX. On October
2nd, 1994, 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 and lo
and behold. 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, 1994 issue of
the Houston Chronicle. Please forward this to all loving mothers and fathers!
