Quick google search reveals multiple cases of items being inserted into Halloween candy. Usually needles. Theere were a couple this year in the US. They are isolated incidents, though.
As I posted in another comment, there are simply no proven examples where something was actually poisoned or inserted into candies on Halloween.
The latest examples that appear to be coming out of kentucky are based on 2 pictures that both look suspiciously staged, there will almost certainly be a small, quiet story in only the local media (if at all) explaining that the images were staged or a hoax and the police won't be investigating any further.
Proven? I’m not some conspiracy nut, but there are several reports of tampered candy this year. I imagine some are fake and from attention seekers, but a couple seem legit. The general impossibility of people inspecting every candy before eating would make pre-discovery proof all but impossible.
There are reports each and every year, and yet no one ever gets injured and no one ever gets prosecuted. But you also never hear the story about it being a hoax because that isn't newsworthy.
I don't usually call for a cite, but I'll have to ask for a cite on this.
Halloween Sadism is the lie that never dies. The very few cases we have of it is done by the family of the child. It's targeted not random.
