Kentucky boy uses mom’s phone to order 70,000 lollipops — costing $4,000: “He wanted to have a carnival”

A Kentucky woman was in a sticky mess when she found stacks of boxes containing lollipops on her front doorstep. The surprise delivery was ordered by her young son while he played on her phone.  
Holly LaFavers says she tried stopping 8-year-old Liam’s Amazon order for about 70,000 Dum-Dum suckers before the treats arrived but it was too late.
Amazon had already delivered 22 cases to her home.
“He told me that he wanted to have a carnival, and he was ordering the Dum-Dums as prizes for his carnival,” LaFavers said. “Again, he was being friendly, he was being kind to his friends.”
LaFavers posted multiple photos on social media, showing bozes of the sweets stacked up in front of her house.
