Pay Someone to Terrify Your Kids on Their Birthdays

Dominic Deville stalks young victims for a week, sending chilling texts, making prank phone calls and setting traps in letterboxes.

He posts notes warning children they are being watched, telling them they will be attacked.

But Deville is not an escaped lunatic or some demonic monster.

He is a birthday treat, hired by mum and dad, and the ‘attack’ involves being splatted in the face with a cake.

‘The child feels more and more that it is being pursued,’ said Deville.

Apparently, children in the U.K. like to be stalked by sinister clowns for their birthdays, and parents can pay said clown to smash a cake in their child’s face. I think it’s pretty telling that Deville refers to children as “it.”
