Well here's a house no one should visit on Halloween. A woman in Fargo, N.D. has said that she will be handing out letters to those she deems "moderately obese."
The woman won't hand the letters to the kids themselves, but rather to their parents, Fox News reports.
The goal is to make parents aware of their decision and how their kids likely shouldn't take part in Halloween tradition of going door-to-door if their kids are fat. "You are probably wondering why your child has this note, have you ever heard the saying, 'It takes a village to raise a child?'"
The letter states, "You [sic] child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season." It continues, "My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits."
According to USA Today, the woman went on a morning radio show to explain herself saying, "I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight. ... I think it's really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy just 'cause all the other kids are doing it."
Katie Gordon, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at North Dakota State University feels that it could be damaging to a child for them to get that letter. "It's just that kind of thing that for some kids, if they're vulnerable, might trigger major problems."
