ANOTHER traditional Easter egg hunt has fallen victim to aggressive parents, with event organisers in Macon, Georgia, forced to cancel this week.
The culprits?�Greedy moms and dads who become violent and trample on kids to grab eggs.
Joe Allen, founder of Kids Yule Love which organises the Central City Park egg hunt, said previous bad behaviour meant this year's event had become a liability because "parents caused a situation in which some children got hurt," The (Macon) Telegraph reported.
He said that a woman was hurt and several kids were trampled on at previous hunts as aggressive parents tried to get more eggs for themselves or their children.
"When people get hurt, they want some kind of compensation," Mr Allen added.
It is not the first Easter egg hunt cancelled because of pushy parents in the past month.
A free annual event held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was cancelled in March because "aggressive" parents previously snatched too many eggs for their children.�
Organisers there said some parents were too pushy, leaving some children empty-handed.
"It's sort of got out of hand," one of the organisers, Dave Van Ness, said.
"There were disgruntled people because there either weren't enough eggs to go around or some kids didn't get one.
"Parents would get aggressive."
