Nearly
every child loves going to the playground. And while they do this, parents like
to sit on a bench watching their little ones to make sure nothing happens. But
sometimes this isn’t enough. It’s hard to believe, but there are some people
out there who seek to harm innocent children. This was true of Amy Smith and
her little daughter.
The
two want to spend a cheerful Sunday afternoon at the playground. This is not
the first time, young Demi-Mai knows the place very well. She especially likes
the tunnel slide. But this changes dramatically on this day. From this day on,
the little girl is really afraid.
Demi-Mai,
on this occasion, spent a little longer than usual in the tunnel slide. Amy was
wondering why at first, but wasn’t too worried at this stage. But after going
down the tunnel slide, Demi-Mai came running towards her mother with tears
streaming down her face and severe cuts on her right leg.
She
could not believe what she saw. Amy found broken glass in the tunnel slide,
which was obviously placed there with the sole intention of hurting children.
The mother went straight to hospital with her daughter, where her daughter's
wounds were treated.
But
it gets even worse: According to a police report, nearby the slide, there was a
spot where the person who had placed the glass, most likely observed the
children from.
Now
Amy wants to warn other parents and encourage them to examine the playground
where their children play beforehand to check for broken glass or any other
dangerous objects.
It
does make you raise the question of who could be so heartless as to want to see
small children suffer in such a way. Playgrounds should be vicinities of
laughter and joy, where parents should be able to feel completely at ease. This
certainly was not the case for Amy and her little daughter but it will
hopefully be a wake-up call for all other parents now.
