A Christchurch mum says her 11-year-old son was given laxative-laced lolly cake by “boys on electric scooters with ski masks on” while out trick-or-treating for the first time on Halloween. “It was the first time that I’ve actually let them go trick or treating,” the mum said. “So he really panicked that it was the anaphylaxis again.”Increasing numbers of Kiwi kids have been going trick-or-treating on Halloween. I’d actually spoken to my mum about it and said maybe they could have put laxatives or something,” the mum said. “[The culprits] are thinking it’s just a laugh but [the other kids] actually could get really sick.
