How many children have been harmed or injured by poisoned or manipulated candy given to them by strangers on Halloween?
Zero. We can all remember our parents warning us about taking candy from strangers, instilling fear with stories of hidden razor blades or poison inside candy. Apparently most cases of strangers inserting objects inside candy have been very few and have never lead to any serious cases of injury. Most cases of candy tampering have actually been done by family members and blamed on strangers.
