Parents of a 9-year-old girl say their daughter was stuck by a needle in a hotel bed in Aberdeen.
KIRO 7 reports 9-year-old Emily Johnson’s parents are considering a lawsuit after their daughter injured her heel on a needle found with another syringe and bloody bandage under the hotel mattress.
“I couldn’t believe it. It was almost like, is this real?” Johnson’s mother Angie Smith told KIRO 7.
The hotel is doubtful of the family’s story, saying it seemed like they were just trying to get a free room.
Johnson was taken to the emergency room after the incident and will reportedly have to undergo blood tests for a year to see if she has contracted any diseases.
