‘[The] first toy she picks up had a junkie’s syringe under it,’ he wrote alongside a picture of the offending matter.

‘Absolutely disgusting that people use needles but to put them underneath children’s toys what a joke absolute [scum].’ 

A user commented back: ‘Can’t imagine the fear as a parent.’

Another was less shocked writing: 

‘Don’t be quick to judge…Could be insulin – looks like cap on too. Could have fallen [out of their] bag. Could be medicine. We have to carry them for our type 1 child.’
