The Claw Claims Another Child

It's happened again. The temptress that is the arcade claw machine has used her assortment of cheap, plush toys to seduce and swallow up another child. 

The latest episode occurred in the arcade at Carrowinds amusement park near Charlotte, North Carolina. Usually these stories are very similar. A toddler sees a toy he wants and very innocently climbs in to get it, but this one was a little different. A 13-year-old boy tried to climb in to steal a plush toy and got stuck. A medical response team unlocked the machine and the kid was able to climb out. He was briefly examined and then turned over to his parents. The park then notified him that he is banned from the park for one year for attempted theft. (WTVD-TV)

Scott's Thoughts:

  • These machines should be outlawed.
  • It's usually toddlers because they're the only ones small enough to climb in. A 13-year-old really has no chance to getting in there.
  • When toddlers do it, they usually get to keep the prize. The 13-year-old doesn't, and gets banned for one year.
  • The closest I ever came to something this dumb was trying to reach up in the candy machines to steal candy. I didn't get stuck, but I am pretty sure I got a butt whoopin'!
