STUDIOS IN BOSTON, WBZ AT 10
STARTS RIGHT NOW.
CAUSTIC TREATS. THE TOILET
TRAINING TABLETS ENDING UP INTO
HALLOWEEN BAGS.
POLICE ARE ON THE HUNT FOR A
PERSON WHO COULD HAVE MADE
CHILDREN VIOLENTLY SICK OR
WORSE EXPECT WE HAD OUT TO --
WERE WORSE.
Reporter: THESE ARE THE
THINGS YOU THROW IN THE BACK OF
YOUR TOILET TANK.
THEY ARE A DANGEROUS MIX OF
CHEMICALS, BLEACH AND TOXINS
AND WHEN A LOCAL WOMAN FOUND
ONE OF THESE IN HER CHILD'S BAD
, SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO CALL THE
POLICE.
AT FIRST GLANCE, THIS MAY
LOOK LIKE A CANDY, BLUE AND
ROUND BUT THIS IS NO TREAT
EUROPE IT IS A DANGEROUS TOILET
BOWL CLEANING TABLET THAT WAS
GIVEN OUT TO TRICK-OR-TREATERS.
I CAN'T NOT -- I CANNOT
IMAGINE ANYONE PLAYING THAT
KIND OF JOKE YOUR COMPLETE
TOMMY TO CHILDREN, 16 YEARS OLD
IN 114 RESULT OF MAGES -- BOTH
MADE THE DISCOVERIES.
I WAS REALLY SURPRISED AT
WHAT WENT ON.
STEPHANIE'S SON WAS ALSO TRICK-
OR-TREATING IN THE DOWNTOWN
AREA AND SHE HAS GONE THROUGH
HIS CANDY TO MAKE SURE.
BENJAMIN SAYS HE HAS ITS OWN
SYSTEM TO BE SAFE.
IF I SEE SOMETHING THAT
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS, I WILL
USUALLY SPLIT IT OPEN IF IT
LOOKS WEIRD.
POLICE PUT THE WARNING OUT
TO CHECK CANDY BAGS CAREFULLY
AGAIN BUT FOR MOMS LIKE DANIEL
ALWAYS, THEY WANT MORE
INFORMATION.
THE REACTION WAS WE HOPE IT
WAS A MISTAKE. SOMEONE THAT DID
NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY WERE
DOING.
POLICE TELL WBZ THEY DO NOT
KNOW THE MOTIVE. THESE WORRIED
PARENTS TELL US THEY ARE JUST
RELIEVED IT WAS CAUGHT IN TIME
IT.
ADEPTLY SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING
PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BE MORE
VIGILANT ABOUT.
POLICE TELL ME THEY DO NOT
BELIEVE THE KIDS ACTUALLY
GRABBED THESE BUT MAYBE SOMEONE
FLIPPED THEM INTO THE BACK
WITHOUT THEM SEEING.
THEY ARE WORRIED THERE COULD BE
