> They left to return home. A half and hour after they were
> home, the mother noticed some big red welts on the little
> boys arms and legs. Not being able to figure out what they

> An hour later, the little boy died. Come to find out, when
> returning To Burger King to see if there were red ants in the
> play area, in case the little boy had an allergic reaction.
> Burger King employees and herself discovered that there was a
> family of baby rattlesnakes living underneath the balls in
> the ball-pit area. She has since found out that this happens
> more often than not snakes crawl into the ball pit because it
