One North Dakota resident called into the Y94 radio station in Fargo offering some children tricks rather than treats this Halloween. Instead of simply giving candy to every child, children who she considers to be "moderately obese" will get a critical letter in their goodie bag as well.

The woman, known only as Cheryl, said that she plans to distribute the sealed letters to overweight children, who are supposed to pass the letter on to their parents. She argued that children who were already overweight should not consume the same amounts as other children, and deemed parents as irresponsible for sending their children out to seek candy. She also said that she sees that overweight children are "struggling" with their health and with their desire to do the same activities as other children, which is another reason why heavy children should not trick or treat.

Hosts of the radio show asked the women why she didn't distribute alternatives to candy, such as fruits, vegetables, toys or stickers. She responded that she didn't want to be seen as the "mean lady" and intended to allow each child to have candy, but simply wants them to be aware of unhealthy eating habits.

The letter in full reads:

"Happy Halloween and Happy Holidays Neighbor! You are probably wondering why your child has this note; have you heard the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child?" I am disappointed in "the village" of Fargo Moorhead, West Fargo. [Your] child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season. 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. Thank you."

The letter went viral on the Web after she sent it to the radio station following her radio show appearance, and many parents voiced exactly how they felt about her scathing criticism of their parenting abilities. Personal blogs, social media sites and comments on articles flared across the web, many not taking the criticism well. Some suggested that Cheryl mind her own "f******* business," and another blog stated that they hopes that she enjoys cleaning toilet paper and eyes off of every inch her property.

Many don't think that scolding children on Halloween will do anything to prevent childhood obesity, but will cause further self-esteem issues.

Corey "Zero" Schaffer plans to follow up with Cheryl on Friday morning to see if she executed her plan to provide health awareness to her community.
