Australian toddler imprisoned due to addiction to sweets

Cohen Stone   two year old      Perth Australia            first to crawl inside candy machine     imprisoned with candy    candy addiction    This – is the sweet face of addiction! While it wears many faces, perhaps we should place sugar in the pantheon with meth, cigarettes, and alcohol. We’re all familiar with the glass encased candy and/or toy vending boxes with miniature cranes used to manipulate and grab the bounty within. For unknown reasons, restaurants often place the large tempting boxes in the entry, just where everyone is standing cheek by jowl awaiting a table. The screeches of children who must have something from the enticing array are often piercing and always loud. They can get their little hand inside the slot where the goodies come out, but no further, though many give it their all in the effort . They couldn’t gain entrance until now, when the toddler quietly slipped away from his mother’s side, and managed somehow to crawl through the very small prize slot. He couldn’t exit without a locksmith however. Cohen Stone of Perth found himself inside looking out – much like a sticky faced prize, in a in two-year-old sugar addicts’ heaven – or prison.
