A family outing to a mall in New Hampshire turned in an instant when a child picked up a syringe that was lying in the middle of the floor.

A New Hampshire father spoke to WBZ-TV under the condition of anonymity. He and his wife were shopping with their three children, ages 3, 5 and 6, on Sunday at the Macy's in Salem, New Hampshire. The family was waiting near the dressing room when their middle child walked up to him with something in her hand.

"I immediately noticed it and said put that down," the father recalled. "When she handed it to me, I immediately realized that it was a syringe that was full of brown fluid. There was just something incredibly sinister about it."
