It was literally right behind the bench that my husband was sitting. Our daughter got within feet of the use needle before my husband saw it. Luckily no one touched it. I cant explain to you the anger and sadness I feel. I've absolutely never been as livid as I am right now. My husband called the police and reported.

Kids need a needle 101 at the start of guards, what they look like, risks/ dangers, and how to secure the area before notifying an adult to dispose of it properly. My son is 8 and the only reason he knew was cause we saw a bunch piled near the trash at Garden of Eden last summer so I took that moment to explain to the kids the danger of disease, etc. I'm shocked we get notices that our kids have been exposed to head lice at school but no phone call or paper regarding my child finding a needle.

This doesn't impact most of you as it's not SC. However, the needle issue is not limited to SC proper. Tonight as I was collecting dry leaves along my single street-side parking spot in Boulder Creek just off Hwy 9, I raked-up an uncapped used sharp. I don't know if it counts for Cruz Needles but I did call it into the 911 non-emergency number and insisted that the SCSO come to collect it -- frankly, so I can share my concern about a neighboring house that I feel even more justified to report for suspicious behavior. Thankful I was wearing leather gloves and caught it with a rake (vs. my gloved hand). Now, I feel unsafe letting my dogs patrol inside my gated, fenced property too.

I'm seeing more and more "drug signs" everywhere. I think they are just throwing the needles in the creek, but everything else points to more use. The plunger was in the street, the cap in one of at least a dozen around the Senior Center and down by the creek. It really brings me down that it seems on the rise again. The two new wrappers were near yesterday's spot. I actually went down to the creek at 9:00pm hoping to catch them. Nothing. I guess they must be early morning Residential junkies! Creek I just got back from a walk. I still can't believe I find drug garbage every time, but it's true!(Water capsule found while on walk. No needles.) Creek I don't normally post non-needle needle related items but I walk along Branciforte Creek every day and I have to say I have never seen it so thoroughly trashed in one day! Needle wrappers, food wrappers, human excrement napkins used as toilet paper at least four or five blankets a couple jackets a sweater, a purse, several empty booze bottles, beer cans, energy drink cans, cotton balls, Qtips. At the start of my walk I saw Officer Inouye (I hope I spelled it right, I don't have his card). He was walking very fast, and I never caught up with him. I hope there was an arrest. It's possible he removed needles from the area. This was the morning of Wed. 0107-14. I assume police supply you with needle find info? Is that correct? Should I try to follow up and ask, when I see him? 797N 798N 799N 800N 801N City Parks & Recreation 1/8/2015 Departent Bonnie 1/12/2015 Ford Mac 1/15/2015 Monroe Mac 1/16/2015 Monroe Ellie 1/19/2015 Chapman 125 1 1 1 1 Parks, Beaches, Various locations etc. 125 needles found by City Rangers in December 2014 (Note: The needles under each of the supervisor's headings are collected by parks workers in their specific zone.

Our apartment complex was busy with people because of a yard sale. After a woman customer (who does not fit the stereotypical image of a junkie but perhaps was diabetic) drove away in her SUV, we were walking out our front door. I noticed something on the ground where she had been parked in my peripheral vision but didn't stop. My son however, did and cried out "Needles!" as he picked them up! Thankfully, they were capped. A neighbor advised him to go wash his hands and never touch needles. Well, guess what? He knows that! I was on The Clean Team. We've had many a discussion about needles-what they look like, about not touching them and to call an adult. And it all failed in that moment! My neighbor picked up the needles with a plastic bag. She was planning on disposing of them in our dumpster. I told her about the disposal at Emeline and put them in a plastic capped bottle until I was able to drop them off.

When we were leaving my 4-yr-old handed me an old syringe and said, "mom, it didn't hurt." My heart sunk and I saw that she had poked herself while picking it up!!! We spent 3 hrs in the ER trying to figure out what to do. I was so pissed! Thought I'd let y'all know, someone told me you guys keep track of this kind of incident." From 1/16/16: "We spent 3 hrs at the ER and all they told us was that she was at less than 0.01% risk for contracting a disease from the needle because it was old, and her poke wasn't deep. They didn't even recommend blood tests. A frustrating afternoon at the hospital to say the least (and I haven't gotten a bill to be further frustrated over yet). The biggest concern is a deep tissue puncture with a fresh needle, and thankfully for [NAME REDACTED], her scenario was the opposite. But for anyone else out there, there's no way to know how fresh a discarded needle is. So frustrating people can be so thoughtless!"

Now, it seems to me that, the city should step up and perhaps give out some kind of incentive to the homeless people for every bag of garbage that they turn in !

An instructor from an outside agency was struck by a needle on his foot near Lifeguard tower 2. Fire staff were notified and responded immediately to the scene and followed the established protocols for dealing with this type of situation. The area where the needle was encountered was inspected by Fire personal and then again by Beach maintenance staff. No further needles were found. City staff notified all the supervisory staff and the participants in our program about the incident, and sent an email to all Jr. Guard parents this evening. Though these incidents are rare, they are very troubling when they occur. In an effort to keep the beach safe for Junior Guards and other beach users, staff will continue the beach maintenance program consisting of daily sifting and visual inspections of the beach. Please let me know if you have any questions. Creek I didn't fish around for its buddy, but I'm sure it's there somewhere in all the garbage piling up under zayante creek bridge in Felton. Will go with sheriff to clean up. 1286N City Parks & Recreation Departmen 8/5/16 t 1287N Leveelies 8/6/16 Team 1288N Janie Lopez via Samantha 8/7/16 Olden 1289N Tom 8/7/16 Manheim 1290N Shawna 8/8/16 Glynn 1291N Alejandro Aguilera8/10/16 Ruiz 1292N 1293N 1294N Leveelies 8/13/16 Team Sharon De 8/14/16 Jong Leveelies 8/15/16 Team 140 3 140 needles found by City workers in July 2016 (Note: The needles under each of the supervisor's headings are collected by parks workers in their specific zone.
