I typically don't spread stories like this but as a father this story just pissed me off. I hope they find the scum that did this. You can search the web and see pictures of the razor blades but I copied/pasted the story below if you don't want to click.


March 25, 2014 (EAST MOLINE, Ill.) -- Authorities in a western Illinois community are investigating after they discovered a dozen razor blades glued to playground equipment in an East Moline city park.

The razor blades were discovered Monday in the community's Millennium Park after a 2-year-old boy sliced his finger on a razor. The laceration was minor.

Police Lt. Brian Foltz told the Quad-City Times that officers are "always doing park checks," but authorities aren't sure how long the blades had been attached to the playground equipment.

He says police also canvased the city's other parks, but haven't found any other razor blades. Millennium Park's playground was built in 2000.

    Well, today's workout will be fueled by rage. That said, I think spreading the story is the right thing to do. Sadly, parents have yet another concern to be vigilant about when it comes to their children's safety.

    I'm going with their thinking it was a bunch of idiot kids who think it was a fun prank. if so they should charge the parents for not keeping their kids in line.
