A mother made a shocking discovery when she was changing her infant son in a public restroom in the UK. The discovery left her furious and her son hurt. Hayley had placed her son down on a changing mat and he suddenly began to scream and cry.
At first, she assumed he was tired and cranky, but when she picked him back up, she noticed his back was blotchy and red. Looking closer at the mat she was horrified by what she found.
“It turns out some lowlife scum thought it would be ‘fun’ to deliberately put drawing pins in the bottom of the changing mat,” Hayley wrote on Facebook. She was justifiably outraged and shared her story to warn other mothers to be careful.

This sick prank reminds me of another cruel prank that happened in the UK when a little girl got hurt after someone had put superglue on the toilet seat. It just goes to show you can never be too careful with your children when using public facilities these days!
Share Hayley’s warning with your family and friends!
