Real-Life Hansel & Gretel! Minnesota Woman Arrested for Allegedly Threatening to Eat Neighbors' "Delicious" Children

38-year-old Carrie Pernula was upset because the kids were being noisy, police tell Minnesota's CBS 4

Just in time for Halloween, a story that makes Drake's dance moves look sane. 

A Minnesota woman was arrested for allegedly threatening to eat her neighbors' two kids, according to Minnesota's CBS 4 News.

Police told CBS 4 that 38-year-old Carrie Pernula became upset after the children left items in her yard and made noise. We'll give you a moment to recover from the shock...

But while that seems like fairly average childlike behavior, authorities said that Pernula could end up being charged with gross misdemeanor terrorist threats and stalking for taking her beef to the next level.

Police said that she sent an anonymous note to the kids' family, reading, "The children look delicious. May I have a taste?" and then a magazine subscription arrived and "instead of a name on the address label it said things like ‘tasty children' along those lines."

The whole thing leaves a bad taste in our mouths.

The family, after calling police, took to their city's community Facebook page to express their fears. The hangry lady admitted to her overreacting ways when confronted by cops, police said, and was arrested.

Pernula has since been released without being charged and is apparently back home chillin', presumably kinda like a villain. Hopefully, she's thought long and hard about what she reportedly did. We suggest focusing on satisfying those hunger pangs with McDonald's all-day breakfast.  If nothing else, it should put her in a better mood.
