Sometimes when you buy something, you get more than you bargained for. A Florida-based family found this out firsthand, and when they thought they were buying their 11-year-old child an age inappropriate video game, they were actually getting something altogether more dangerous for his health.
The McAllisters purchased a used copy of Grand Theft Auto V from Gamestop last weekend, and when they got it home and opened the case they found a bag of pure meth tucked inside the game's manual. The child's mother, Kayla McAllister, wrote the following on Facebook yesterday:
"Today i took my son to gamestop in Tallahassee to trade in games and get some new ones. When he opened the booklet inside one of the pre owned games he ( MY ELEVEN YEAR OLD SON!!!!!!!) found this. A baggie of fucking meth! Clearly the game was not properly checked when it was traded in and because of the carelessness i could have lost a child. Thankfully He brought it right to us and said what is this?"
Presumably, the bag of drugs has been disposed of and the youngster in question is now free to play his Rated R/18+ video game without the risk of getting addicted to something more dangerous than pixels on a screen (albeit, in this case, extremely violent pixels).
