Hear any reports of kids in your community being poisoned or injured from their Halloween candy this year?

I haven't heard of any so far and I hope it stays that way. Most kids in my community go to Halloween community events now a days because its safer for them. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I'm not friendly with the people here who have kids, so I don't know, but there haven't been any reports on TV about it.  What a horrible person to do something like poison a child's candy.

    Razor blades / poison in Halloween candy is an urban legend.
    The chances of being struck by lightning are far greater.

    I remember sometime in the 1970s, people were so scared of it the local hospital offered to X-Ray candy for free.
    Nothing was ever found.

    They need more then a hard slap - they need a punch in the head for breakfast, lunch and supper for a mouth or two while being told why they are being served it. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Never heard of it. I think it is an urban myth.

    My children or any children in my care would only be allowed to trick or treat at a friendly neighbor, whom I have known like family or my own friends or my own family.  I don't think people are out to get anyone. But it only takes one time for one accident and I would never forgive myself.  What if some kid in the house I was going to, thought it was funny to put something in the candy?  Who knows?  I am not trusting children with ANYBODY I don't know these days.

    Never heard of it actually happening. We always made the kids waits a day or two. And of nothing hit the news it was good to go. 

    I have a cousin who claimed to have found a razorblade in an apple when we were kids. But she has an extreme history of lying. I do not believe her.
