The greatest threat to our children is this...

This is a Treasure Chest Claw Machine and while it's not yet claimed the life of one of our precious tykes, it's well on it's way to doing so. As KARE 11 reports, these machines are luring many children (3 that we know of, possibly many more) into their toy bins.

Devin Haskin isn't the first little boy to find the inside of a toy machine too enticing to resist. When the 3-year-old Austin boy crawled through the discharge chute of a Toy Chest claw machine at a Godfather's Pizza here, he ended up on the other side of the glass surrounded by stuffed animals.

See the how masterfully insidious their plan is? They LURE our young into their clutches with promises of stuffed animals and other enticing prizes. They also take countless tokens from those who are unable to resist their evil pull and are too big to fit through the discharge chute.

Already Congress is gearing up to take action.

... Congressman Tom DeLay (R - Texas) said , "While little Devin was rescued there are others I know about whose time grew short while surrounded by cheaply made plush toys." After a brief pause to wipe away a tear, he continued. "It's time for us to put aside partisan politics and ridiculous investigations and instead focus on the greatest threat to our children, Terrorist Toy Machines."

A memorial fund is being established by the McBlogger crew in an effort ease the pain and suffering of the children who've found themselves victims of these heinous machines. All money donated will go to the fund, minus a small administrative charge*. Please email mcblogger@mcblogger.com to find out how to contribute.

*99% of the funds recieved
