Woman arrested after telling parents she wanted to eat their children

Police say the woman was upset because the children made noise and left items in her yard.

Look, other people’s kids can be annoying, but you’re not allowed to threaten to eat them.

CBS in Minnesota reports on the case of a 38-year-old woman, Carlie Pernula, who was arrested after telling parents she wanted to eat their children.

“Police say the woman was upset because the children made noise and left items in her yard,” the report says.

Neighbours told police they were ‘terrified’ when notes began appearing in their letterboxes, saying things like: “The children look delicious. May I have a taste?”

A short time later, the family received a magazine subscription in the name of Tasty Children. The mail was traced back to Carlie, who police say was “angry because the kids were leaving things in her yard and I think being a little noisy, being kids, the way kids are.”
