2-year-old Madden Jenks was on his dad’s shoulders playing on the monkey bars when he was cut. “Ouch,” Madden said, and his father put him down. Then when his dad looked he could see the blades on the monkey bars, the rock climbing wall, the fire pole, the bottom of the slide and everywhere.

“All the razor blades were placed up, so when you grabbed them it would hit their wrists or your hands,” said Madden’s dad, Jayson Kenney. “It’s pretty sick. Psychotic. Luckily, it wasn’t deeper. He wasn’t old enough to put his weight on the monkey bars,” Kenney said.  “What if he didn’t cut his hand and he slit his wrist?”

Police are taking fingerprints and looking for clues in the case. Anyone with information is being asked to contact Capt. Reynolds at (309) 752-1552 or Crime Stoppers of the Quad Cities at (309) 762-9500.
