Police have issued a warning after candy with sewing needles was passed out to children at a homecoming event for the Santa Fe Independent School District in Santa Fe, Texas.

The Santa Fe Police Department confirmed that the candy went to at least three different homes after being passed out at a parade, according to a statement shared on social media on Oct. 16.

"Dispatch also received calls from other parents in the community advising that they found pins in candy brought home," the SFPD said, adding that it "strongly encourages everyone to thoroughly check any candy picked up from the parade today."

I know Halloween, but many many moons ago, my Mother made sure we dumped all the candy on the table and she would check it.

She knew there are sick people in this world.

The lefties should hand out “crown” candy dusted with Fentanyl.
That ought to teach Trump!

A joke back during the 70s: “I bought a bag of razor blades and found a Baby Ruth bar in it.”

Pretty hard to get away with this, kids go in groups and usually can figure out which house they got what at, not to mention the normal forensics investigation of the item, and of course security cameras.

Every Halloween the same old schtick.

What makes me dubious isn’t there being any shortage of freaks out there willing to do that to kids.

It’s the outrageous cost of razor blades these days.

Parden moi - was thinking of the scene from “Halloween” where Gary’s mom takes him to the ER for a razor blade lodged in his upper jaw.

Needles are a different level of sick; especially if they’re broken off from drug addicts’ used hypodermics. Physical damage AND disease vector.

The door-to-door trick-or-treat practice should go the way of the dodo.
