The Scary Truth About This Dollar Store Toy Wand

Welcome to the new era of children's toys: The 'Evil Stick'.

 This could possibly be the worst toy ever made. The toy, which was found in a dollar store in Ohio is a magic wand style toy designed to attract many princess loving children. What looks like a seemingly magical, fairly enchanting toy contains a disturbing image of a demonic looking child slitting her wrists with a carving knife. 

 
Whilst utterly disturbing, this hasn't deterred the store's manager from removing it from the shelves. His response was that it should be parents responsibility to read the wand's label and added that he believed it to be appropriate for older children. "For a five, six, seven, ten-year-old, I mean they see that on T.V. " I'm guessing this man doesn't have children. I certainly wouldn't approve of this for my 9 year old daughter! 

I'm not sure what the manufacturers of this toy were thinking when they designed it. To me, this image is clearly disturbing. Not only is it the stuff of nightmares for young children, but older children who for many different emotional reasons may self harm. 

Let's just hope this toy is removed from the shelves soon.
