Children Pricked

Police in James City County are trying to solve the mystery of a woman who reportedly pricks children with sharp objects in grocery stores. It's a mystery. Police have no motive. For police, it's a strangely familiar story told by numerous parents. A woman walks past a parent and child. The child screams. Later, the parent realizes his or her child has been pricked.

The first two incidents were reported at the same time last Thursday afternoon at the Norge Farm Fresh in James City County. Witnesses say the suspect was dressed in medical scrubs. Five other incidents have been reported to police since: one three months ago, one last Wednesday and one in May, 1999 at the same Farm Fresh; Monday at the Food Lion at Ewell Station in Williamsburg; another incident with no details available.

All this pricking has many parents fearful of grocery stores and angry with the reported pricker. "For one, it makes me kind of nervous to know there are people like this running around. You can't feel comfortable going places. You always have to be on the lookout for this," Rebecca Clements said. Clements is especially nervous because she's a mother and a daycare provider. "It's sick -- something's just not right. Whey does someone go around pricking kids?"

Police need your help finding the pricking suspect. She's described as a white female, 115-130 pounds, in her early to mid 40s, with brown shoulder-length, grey-streaked hair.

James City County Police will turn this case over to State Police because there's a need for more resources. If you have any information, please call James City County Police at (757) 253-1800. http://www.wtkr.com/global/default2.asp?P=/Default.asp

Would shooting someone pricking your child w/ a hypodermic needle be justified?
