Minnesota Woman Arrested For Sending Neighbors 'The Children Look Delicious' Notes

There is a proverb that says "revenge is a dish best served cold" but for a Champlin, Minnesota resident, her revenge is a dish made of the terrified neighbor's annoying children. Carrie Pernula was arrested on Oct. 16 after police found that she was the person responsible for sending threatening letters that contain messages about eating the neighbor's elementary school-aged children.

It seems that the 38-year-old Pernula resorted to a passive-aggressive strategy because she was annoyed about the children making noise, leaving their things in her yard and, well, being children. She began her threat with a letter dated Sept. 22, which the aggrieved family received on Sept. 27. The first letter contained a note saying "The children look delicious. May I have a taste?"

Of course, out of fear, the family immediately reported the incident to the police and posted about it on their community's Facebook page and, like nearly everything in social media, word spread quickly and even the uninvolved neighbors became terrified. However, it didn't stop there. The family also received magazine subscriptions where, instead of a name, it is addressed to "Your Tasty Children."

After this, the Champlin Police Department investigated further and finally traced the magazine subscriptions to Pernula who was quickly arrested. "She was angry because the kids were leaving things in her yard, and I think being a little noisy, being kids, the way kids are," Champlin's Deputy Police Chief Ty Schmidt said.

Pernula came clean about her misdeeds during the questioning and admitted that she overreacted. Pernula has been released without being charged and is said to be back in her home while the Champlin City attorney reviews her case.

 

Even if Pernula had the right to be upset with the situation, the action she took is definitely something else. "In this case they went way beyond the bounds of what should be done," Schmidt concluded.

Minnesotans are SO passive aggressive. She bought them a magazine subscription so she could put a stupid name on it instead of yelling out the window "keep your crap out of my yard! ".

And 25 yrs ago, people might have not that thought much about it, thinking she was just a bit whacked. But nowadays, you don't know if these kinds of threats are real or not.

I had a neighbor whose kids would leave stuff everywhere. I mean stuff spread halfway down the block. My solution. Pick it up. Walk three doors down. Place it in their yard. Easy peasy.

I think it's funny.

And discipline your kids!

Who let's their kids leave things scattered in someone else's yard?

The magazine thing was stupid.

What she should have done was become the house were things disappear.

Ball gets left over night, it's gone the next day.

Bike, toys, whatever.

Just take them into the house or wherever.

Whatever happened to being the PITA house on the block that all the kids knew not to go near? Every neighborhood has one. Growing up, on our block we had a grumpy old man who stood on his porch wearing boxers and slippers and no shirt, held a beer in his hand and told us to stay off of his lawn. It was SUCH a stereotype - but we listened.

Yea, that would have been much easier- and she could have avoided going to jail. 

 

But no worries, now that everyone knows she was threatening to eat children, I am sure they will all stay far away. So I guess she can still call it a win?

And the children learned an important lesson: Pick up your crap or you might get murdered.

 Murdered is such a strong word.  I prefer sauteed.

We had "that neighbor" next door when I was growing up. They didn't stand a chance. They were and older couple with an adopted child 2 years younger then me. We had 5 kids and the people on the other side had 5 kids. They called the cops on us countless times. You couldn't even put a toe on their lawn without trouble.

 Allllll the time! We were too loud. We had boys over when parents weren't home. Etc, etc. We were honestly pretty good kids. I'm sure we made noise but we didn't vandalize their property or do things directed at them. Funny thing was, every time we went swimming or sunbathing in our back yard Mr. Smith was up on his roof doing repairs. Each family had 4 girls. We should have called the cops on him!

Bwah!

Yes, yes we should!

 

This was in response to the magazine subscription being named The Fricasseed Child. I should've quoted. Oops!

That reminds me of the scene from Nanny McPhee when they're trying to run off another nanny and they put the baby in the soup pan filled with soup and veggies and the nanny faints.
