Texas Families Are Finding Sewing Needles In Their Children's Candy

[ChristisKing]

Trick-or-treating at strangers' houses is foolish and dangerous. Yes, we did it when I was a kid, but for once the old way was not the best way.

364 days out of the year, we tell kids to avoid strangers, especially strangers offering candy. Then one night a year, we dress them in costumes (often slutty costumes even for kids) and send them to strangers' (often darkened) porches to ring the bell and present themselves.

I don't care if you are standing right behind them. The stranger could yank them inside and lock the door before you realize something is wrong.

What if it's just your neighbors?

Neighbors and friends, you have them over, your kids play together, sure. But people who happen to live on the same block, I would be leery of.

But that's me, I don't tell people how to parent.

It was an urban myth in the 1960’s.

Fox is keeping it alive for a fearful and receptive audience.

You dont know shit. We all know democrats will kill babies the day before they are born, you call it abortion. Would a democrat that rapes kills murders kidnaps, put needles in candy for children.

Looks like a hypodermic needle rather than a sewing needle. How could you hide that thing in a piece of candy? Don't eat candy bars (or anything else) that shows evidence of having been opened.
