Happy Halloween, you irresponsible parents. Sorry, no candy for fat kids here.
A North Dakota woman has decided that every day judgmentalism just
isn’t good enough anymore. For her, Halloween is the perfect opportunity
to tell parents how irresponsible they are for having overweight
children. She’s also going to make sure that fat kids won’t be given any
candy at her house this year.
”I think it’s just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy.” — woman who won’t give any Halloween candy to fat kids.
Quoting the familiar phrase “It takes a village to raise a child,” the woman told Y-94 radio
that she’s going to take the opportunity to let parents know what she
thinks about how they are raising their children. “I just want to send a
message to the parents of kids that are really overweight… I think it’s
just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free
candy just ’cause all the other kids are doing it.”
Yes, all you irresponsible parents of fat kids, how dare you want
your child to fit in with all the skinny kids? Don’t you know how wrong
it is to allow your child to go looking for free candy, just because all
of the other kids are doing it?
Dr. Gordon pointed out that children are very sensitive to the idea of fitting in with their peers.
Several psychologists have weighed on the North Dakota woman’s
Halloween hand-out plan, and how it might affect the fat kids this woman
wants to target. North Dakota State University Assistant Professor of
Clinical Psychology, Dr. Katie Gordon, who is considered an expert when
it comes to eating disorders also appeared on Y-94.
Dr. Gordon pointed out that children are very sensitive to the idea of
fitting in with their peers. She suggested that the letters the
anonymous woman intends to give out to “even moderately obese children,”
could do more harm than good. “It’s just that kind of thing that for
some kids, if they’re vulnerable, might trigger major problems.”she
said.
It takes a village to raise a fat kid.
Don’t worry, such advise won’t stand in the way of the wicked witch
of the North (Dakota). Why worry if your actions will do more harm then
good? Every child’s weight and eating habits are obviously this woman’s
business. Telling you irresponsible parents to step it up, well, that’s
just the icing on the cake. For her, the real fun happens when Johnny
wants to know why he got a note to take home to mom, when Jimmy got a
giant sized Snickers bar. “It’s because you’re fat, Johnny. And fat kids
can’t have treats.”
It takes a village to support a child. It takes a village to teach a
child. It takes a village to raise a child. It takes a village to love a
child. But it takes just one rotten-hearted, mean-spirited old hag like
this to ruin a child’s self esteem for a life time.
Does this woman really think she’s going to be able to remain anonymous?
Does this woman really think she’s going to be able to remain
anonymous? I don’t know about you, but if I looked in my kids Halloween
bag and saw a note like that, my first question would be “Hunny, which
house did this note come from?”
Getting toilet papered by a bunch of angry, little fat kids would be the least of her concerns.

or treat bags of kids she deems too fat for candy, see the image at the
