What would be your first reaction if you got such a text severally from an anonymous person? I bet you would freak out with mixed feelings of anger, fear and more!
Over the weekend, Metro News reported that a woman who sent such weird messages in letters to her neighbours in Minnesota asking if she could eat their children had been arrested.
Carrie Pernula, 38, admitted sending anonymous threats because the children were noisy and left things in her garden, according to a police statement.
After receiving the letter, the neighbours in question posted an image of it to a community Facebook page set up for residents of Champlin, Minnesota.
One sentence of the letter said: ‘The children look delicious. May I have a taste?’
The post attracted a lot of attention from other concerned residents, who became worried for their own children’s safety. Who wouldn't be? And so contacted the Police who thereafter traced the threats to Pernula who was also said to have admitted sending the letters and magazine subscriptions as well to their house, addressed to ‘tasty children’.
Before I go on let me use this opportunity to send a warning sign to all those whose kids/wards are beyond handling especially such kids who run around while the sermon is going on in church, or running around with shoes when their neighbours who live downstairs are trying to get a nap or even those kids who keep throwing stones at fruit trees of neighbours who enjoy their quiet time and many more as you never can predict what mood your neighbours are in.
According to CBS, Ty Schmidt, the deputy Police Chief‘ of Champlin said "Pernula was angry because the kids were leaving things in her yard and I think being a little noisy, being kids, the way kids are."
Hmm! I guess everyone of us have got some kind of issues or the other. While some of us can handle ours in more humane way, some other persons may find theirs too difficult to handle properly so the best bet is for us to stay out of each other's LANE. Right? I know you would agree with me on that *smiles*.
Pernula now faces possible charges of gross misdemeanor, terroristic threats and stalking. She has not been charged, but the Champlin city attorney is looking into the case
