Title shortened.
An Easter egg hunt descended into chaos on Saturday after parents in Orange, Connecticut, stormed the field.
Children as young as four were trampled by adults in a rampage to steal buckets and grab as many of the 9,000 hidden eggs as possible from the third annual free event at the PEZ headquarters.
One four-year-old son was left 'bloody' on the sports field and a two-year-old girl was shoved into the mud, witnesses claimed.

According to the article, "'not one toddler hunting for eggs' among the crowds of adults."
I once took my nephew to an Easter egg hunt when he was about 3 years old. It was awful. He got flattened. Parents were pigs, children little monsters.
Overuse of smart phones is making people stupid. It’s the selfie-generation run amok in the real world.
Too bad nobody got video of an adult knocking down a 4 year old. Such adults belong in prison.
Didnt anyone think of macing the little monsters?
How did smart phones cause adults to run over children?
What was in the eggs that the adults wanted them so badly? Money?
Free events tend to attract sons and daughters of Obama in large numbers.
Sadly, this is what America has become, anything to outdo, out grab or out steal the other guy is the rule now. What the hell happened to this once proud nation? If I were the City Council of that city I would CANCEL it for good.
Bingo!!
It’s effing CT. Cancel it and you’d have a class-action lawsuit. Just defund the event.
Photos show white and brown trash included- all Soylent Green product!
“Just defund the event”........
That would be the first step, the second would be to ban ALL PARENTS. I could care less what the masses thought, the event would be OVER!
True, that.
Wait’ll the lights go out and the EBT cards stop scanning...
Instant gratification is a side effect of this digital generation where everything is expected to happen now. Cell phone connectivity is a driving force behind this “need”.

Son and DIL had quite the opposite experience. They got to the egg hunt late, and the egg hunt for the youngest kids was over. The organizers told son and dil that their 2 year old could hunt with the older kids. There was about a dozen eggs in one area and all the older kids backed off so 2year old granddaughter could get those. Granddaughter was so excited, she kept shaking her basket and the eggs kept popping out!
