Police Looking For Person Who Taped Razors To Playground Equipment

May 14, 2010 at 4:09 pm by  

COLUMBUS, GA – You know, as I got older and quit playing in playgrounds, I still spent a lot of time in them. Mostly at night and mostly involving sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. Sure we sometimes vandalized the equipment, or left empty beer bottles on the ground or laid down some white stripes inside the cement tunnel – but at no time can I recollect any of us saying, “Hey, it would be hilarious if we taped razor blades on some of this shit so when the little kids come to play, they’ll get slashed to ribbons! Har! Har! Har!” But that’s what someone did the other day in a Lakebottom playground. On Tuesday morning, a 2-year-old alerted his mother that there was a something attached to a piece of the playground’s equipment. The mother investigated and found that a boxcutter type razor had been taped to it. She confiscated the blade and notified a nearby traffic cop. All-in-all, nine razor blades were found on the equipment, all of them strategically placed to do damage to anyone using them. As of yesterday, police did have some fingerprints and even had a few leads.

“We received some information of an individual that was in the park the night before. We’re checking on that individual now as we speak. My investigators are out trying to locate him as well as the individual that called it in to get a statement from him. Also, we have another person of interest we’re checking in to that was seen in a vehicle around the park trying to see what he was up to also,” Lieutenant Bruce Whitehead stated.

This reminded me of that story we did awhile back where someone poured drain cleaner on some playground equipment. In that case a 2-year-old boy was burned after using a slide. I hope that when the people responsible for this is caught, that he is severely punished and that they are old enough for me to splash their face(s) on this site.

    holy fuck! This one will bother me for a very long time, even though nobody got hurt. This is just sick shit. As a parent, you do everything in your power to protect your children from danger and people..but now you have to protect them from their toys?

  • EveryVillainIsLemons

    Yay, even more reasons not to frequent playgrounds.

    Jesus H Christ. I am usually on the lookout for pervs, not razor blades… =P

    Wow..so sadistic and mean. My old highschool boyfriends dad was a professional diver for the sheriff dept waaay back in the seventies in Wash. state. There was a local gathering place involving a freshwater lake, a slide, a park, pinic tables and such… On the 4th of July weekend the first one to use the slide going into the lake was a teenaged girl. She went down the slide lickety split, but onlookers noticed somethinng was amiss ( she screamed or sumthin) and dove in after her when she didnt resurface. She was sliced from head to toe, and it was later discovered that the slide had been lined with some kind of sharp blades. My boyfriends dad had to dive down later to retrieve parts of her digits…fingers, maybe. I think she lived, but Im not sure…I wonder if the dickheads who do this sort of thing try to blend into the background later to witness the results of their handiwork…

    Disgusting! The exact same thing happened at my daughters' school playground here a few years ago. Boxcutter blades on the equipment AND hidden in the sand. As if kids stepping on used needles wasn't already a big concern. Sadly, it's usually stupid ass teens with nothing better to do, and if they do get caught, it's just a slap on the wrist. Of course, I am in Canada and our justice system SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!

    Also, what an extremely bright and intuitive 2 year old to have discovered this and alerted his mom. That just blows my mind for his/her young age.

    I would be surprised if they didn't. You'd think seeing the damage done would be part of the “fun”. Kind of like a pyromaniac watching their fire, some even getting off on it sexually.

    Great, one less place to feel safe taking my son. This is the reason kids are fat nowadays. Because evil people like this have got parents so freaking terrified to let their kids do anything that all the kids can do is sit inside and watch TV or play video games. How do these people think of this crap. I can't even wrap my head around this.

  • Christy

    Fat kids could always play in their own backyards.. ?

    Regardless of the fat kids everywhere, this is absolutely disgusting. As a female in her mid-twenties, stories like this make me reluctant to even want to have children. I'd miss out on the (I'm sure) amazing experience of being a mother, sadly, because I'm not sure I want bring kids into a world that's becoming so much more twisted and ridiculous every day.

  • Christy

    That is fucking sick.

  • Sugarglider1

    I hope they put in some cameras, and catch this loser of a man or woman.

    Well, as the good book says, there is nothing new under the sun, and in this case I can say that when I was a kid back in the 70's their were people who would put sewing needles, and razor blades in apples during Halloween. When we got home we would either throw the fruits away, or chop them up before we ate them.

    Not all of us have back yards, much less yards.
