Father Makes Disturbing Discovery After Searching Through Daughter’s Halloween Candy
By Dreamer
An unnamed father from Hercules, California, got the shock of his life when he found a ziplock bag with a powdery substance among his eight-year-old daughter’s Halloween candy.
Following the discovery after his daughter returned from trick-or-treating, the father contacted authorities who confirmed that the substance was in fact meth.
Neighbors expressed their outrage over the incident:
“I think this is a good community, so that’s a surprise,” said Norman Santos.
“I think that’s sick, that person is so sick,” neighbor David Pel said.
Other neighbors speculated that the incident was perhaps just a mistake:
“It’s not somebody vicious in this neighborhood. It’s somebody who was stupid and made a mistake, or the child picked up the wrong bag,” said Susan Keeffe.
Police are hoping that this incident will teach parents that they should always be vigilant and check their children’s bags after any Halloween events. The police went on to say that the amount which was found, 0.1 grams, was “not an insignificant amount.” Hercules police Sgt. Ezra Tafesse said in his statement to the press:
“A tenth of a gram is enough for felony charges filed for possession of a controlled substance.”
Authorities are not planning to search for the perpetrator at this time and are not sure whether the drug was intentionally placed into the child’s candy bag or not.
