US toddler burnt in park attack

This is pretty unbelievable. Plus, it underscores that while the government is busy protecting us from Vitamin C, nothing's done about drain cleaners and other household chemicals that can be lethal (Clorox, anyone?). Drain cleaner is pure lye.

Peyton Duschl received second and third-degree burns, mostly to his legs, after using the primary school slide.

Vandals had poured industrial-strength drain cleaner over the ride, and opened bottles of the dangerous chemical were found at the scene, police said.

A hazardous materials team was called in to clean the site in Maryland state."...

p.s. MAN FERTILITY says: to clean your drains, use a snake or a plunger!!!!

There are greener alternatives to Drano-- an orange based drain opener whose name I forget. We recently had a clog and our plumber event said don't use Drano, as it's both poisonous and does more harm than good overall.

All the more reason to start promoting the use of natural, homemade household cleaning products and phase out dangerous chemicals. That was a terrible thing that happened to the kid. I wonder if from now on, people will start checking public facilities first before even touching anything.
