Some children may be getting more trick than treat when they collect their candy this Halloween.

According to reports, a woman in Fargo, North Dakota says she'll be handing out letters, instead of sweet treats, to children she believes are "moderately obese."

In an interview with Y-94 Radio in Fargo, she explained her reasoning behind her letters.

"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight," she said. "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."

She should parent her own kids and mind her own business

Just because my kids collect candy doesn't mean that they will eat it all in a few days. Besides - I often get chocolate cravings and need to raid the kids candy supply when they are in bed

My kids usually have candy left over from last Halloween - we put that in a separate bowl and give it to the teens that come to the door without costumes.
