A Ferndale parent said she discovered 2 razor blades loose alongside the candy her 4-year-old collected on Halloween.
According to the parent, they were in their car after trick-or-treating in the Pacific Highlands neighborhood when the bare blades were found among the candy in the child’s bucket. “I found them checking my kids’ candy which all moms should be aware to do,” the parent told Discover Ferndale.
No one was reported to have been injured and Ferndale Police were notified.
Ferndale Police Lieutenant Bill Hatchett said Tuesday morning they had received no other similar reports. “It is not known if we will be able to identify who put the blades in the candy basket,” Hatchett said in an email.
Hatchett advised, “Parents should always accompany their young children while out trick-or-treating and check the contents of their child’s trick-or-treat haul.”

Sigh. Fire up the drama and more importantly the righteous indignation. And whats crucial is every bad story you’ve ever heard a relative tell. Every damned year with these stories.
Don’t worry bout the commet below, believe me! Keep them safe, always!
Good job mom, touch it removing the ability to gain fingerprints.
I’d file this under the “Highly Questionable” category.
And I really hope those nails were part of a costume.
I’ve been hearing these stories for over 55 years now; everywhere I’ve lived. It has been mostly disvovered that most of the contraband was planted by so called “loved ones” looking for sympathy and 15 minutes of fame. I would think we’re smarter than this by now…please stop reporting these stories. Someone WILL get hurt someday if these people continue to get attention through reporters that just don’t get it…
