Easter Bunny Cracks, Injures Kid

Posted by Kelly Mills

Ever since I read "Santaland Diaries" by David Sedaris (highly recommended for being utterly hilarious,) I've been sort of fascinated by those folks who dress up in costume and pose for photos with the kids around the holidays. Think about it: What gets you into that line of work? Perhaps some people are so into the spirit of various holidays that they clear their calendars to become Santa and the Easter Bunny, but I imagine it's circumstance that brings most people into the job. And while Santa has some dignity, being a grown adult in a giant bunny costume and dealing with legions of sobbing children... Well, it's ripe for a "Falling Down" moment. 

Not that I'm justifying the actions of this Bunny gone bad, mind you. Apparently frustrated with the photographer, a man playing a mall Easter Bunny decided to walk off the job mid-photo session, and put the nine-month-old who was on his lap on the floor. The baby suffered a forehead contusion in the process, and the man was arrested. The details of how exactly the child got the the floor are still unclear, but the guy could get two to 20 years for injury to a child. And he'll probably never work as a Bunny in any town again.
