What would possess a little girl....

...to do this? Maybe social services should check out that house... Insulin needles are very small, but the key is that they're hollow--which means if anyone was stuck after the HIV+ kid, they are at risk. Scary!!

Still, though, you have to wonder what sort of weird thoughts prompted this action.; Sun May 01, 01:00:00 AM GMT+1

Was the mom HIV positive? I just skimmed the article.; Sun May 01, 02:59:00 AM GMT+1
