The Mom's Book of Worries

There are people making soda pop bottle bombs and leaving them in suburban yards. These are serious and kill take off fingers, blind you, and cause severe burns (both from the acid and the boiling liquid)




This is a REAL threat and would most likely be picked up by kids or activated by your dog!! That is just crazy!

Once the bottle is moved they usually detonate within 30 seconds.

The police investigating this case urge you scan your yards before letting your pets or kids out and to phone the police or 911 if you see a pop bottle with liquid in it, esp if it is partially swollen or melted. That is what they are here for!
