She probably put it in there, who would do something like that? It's balloon boy all over again

this lady is an idiot. did she not check her childs candy when they got home from trick or treating. the wrapper had to of been open for whoever to stick the tack in there. i agree with the other person it is balloon boy all over again. and this is retarted that this made the news. sorry to say but i think there is alot more important things going on out there instead of some mom not checking her childs candy.

I'd have to agree with the both of you. The first thought i had when i read the headline was "attention needing parent." I dont usually read comments from this site, but i must say im suprised to see that the only other comments for this story seemed to perceive it the same way. Interesting.
