Schoolgirl threatens to kill Santa Claus if he doesn't bring the right presents

[Playinghardball]

Source: metro.co.uk

Christmas letters to Santa asking for a new bike or toy are usually endearing notes penned by wide-eyed innocent children.

But Mekeeda Austin has warned Father Christmas that he will be ‘killed’ if he fails to deliver at least two of her long list of gifts – including a BlackBerry smartphone and ‘the real-life Justin Bieber’.

The 13-year-old goes even further and threatens to ‘hunt down’ Old Nick’s reindeer so she can ‘cook them and serve their meat to homeless people on Xmas day’.

Her mother, Tracey, from Brickhill, Bedford, found the note – which ends ‘Remember… two of these, or you die’ – in Mekeeda’s school bag but has vowed to try to meet her daughter’s demands rather than punish her.

1. That was nice of her to want to feed the homeless.

Dasher and Vixen may feel differently.

[obamanut2012]

12. I thought that, too

Her possible sociopathy (is that a word?) at least doesn't include homeless people.

[malaise]

2. She's exhibiting all the signs required to be a registered

ReTHUG in a few years.

3. Santa better move his ass.

Funny and sad at the same time. I wonder if the girl needs some therapy.

[Drahthaardogs]

44. She is 13 years old...

I doubt seriously she "believes" in Santa Claus. Most six year old children do not really believe. I think she was having some fun at Christmastime. I believe it is called Satire.

4. luckily, their pick up's bumper will never rust. All those NRA stickers protect it.

6. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Mom found it in her schoolbag. It's not like she sent it to anyone -- and even if she had, well, Santa is fictitious and 13 year olds know that.

At 13, kids are experimenting, especially with stuff they write and show to no one, or maybe only to their closest friends.

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. Mom found it and alerted the media??

That's just odd.

[Control-Z]

43. Something's up.

"Her mother, Tracey, from Brickhill, Bedford, ...has vowed to try to meet her daughter’s demands rather than punish her."

I doubt I would punish her but I wouldn't meet her demands and I wouldn't alert the media.

Strange family.

7. That actually works, though

I never started getting what I wanted until I wrote him a stern ultimatum threatening fraud and reporting him to my state Attorney General.

He does the right thing, but you have to be firm with him.

[LiberalAndProud]

13. Good to know.

This advice came late in life, but still, very good info. Thanks, jberryhill.

[jberryhill]

33. Too soon old, too late smart /nt

[Yo_Mama]

26. And also the FTC

For unfair, misleading and deceptive promises.

Thanks for a great laugh.

28. Made by elves, my ass!

It's amazing he's gotten away with it this long, when you think about it.

And kissing married women in their own homes.

[Yo_Mama]

31. Yeah, the old man gets around, doesn't he?

I'm waiting for PETA to step in and get legislation that the reindeer can only be worked so many hours at a stretch. Making them cover the entire earth in one day is cruelty to animals.

[Systematic Chaos]

8. Well, to answer her question:

‘I don’t really believe in Santa any more but I was angry because I thought I wasn’t going to get all the presents I wanted this year. I want all of these things and I don’t see why I shouldn’t get them.’

Perhaps because you're acting like a spoiled little hussy?

If I were your dad you'd come home one day in the very near future to find your room cleaned of everything you owned except three or four functional outfits and furniture. Then you could complain to the walls because you sure the fuck wouldn't have internet or a smart phone. Not for a few weeks, minimum.

[mrmpa]

14. Ditto that...eom

[AsahinaKimi]

9. Seriously,... how does something like this become news?

Must be a slow news day?

10. Thats the American Spirit!!! nt

[obamanut2012]

11. I think her wanting the Real Life Justin Bieber

Shows she's a bit off her hinges.

[jberryhill]

17. Or there is a joke being played

As she doesn't believe in Santa, the notion of her actually having a mind inclined toward violent extortion, is a bit much.

I hope nobody damages their pearls.

[obamanut2012]

21. True n/t

[izquierdista]

15. We have her photo

Taken last Thanksgiving

[Matariki]

16. Given she's 13, I'd say she's developed sophisticated sense of gallows humor

plus she gets points for wanting to feed homeless people on Xmas.

[jberryhill]

18. +1

She'd fit right in around here.

[rucky]

20. +1 - that's my take-away from this

she pretty much punked everybody

[tblue37]

19. From the article:

“When I first found the letter, I thought it was funny. Now I think I’d better get her what she wants. The last thing I want is for her to kill Santa,” said Mrs Austin, 40.

And the demanding Mekeeda added: ‘I don’t really believe in Santa any more but I was angry because I thought I wasn’t going to get all the presents I wanted this year.

“I want all of these things and I don’t see why I shouldn’t get them <emphasis added>.”

Disgusting child!

[jberryhill]

24. For threatening to kill a fictitious entity she knows to be fictitious?

Even Jane Austen killed people in her creative writing and I hear she was an okay person.

[tblue37]

35. No--disgusting for her "Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee" attitude, and

her declaration of "I want all this stuff" and "I don't see why I shouldn't get what I want just because I want it."

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Yeah, but that sentiment is universal to most kids. Say what you will about this one in particular

she doesn't sound like she's fucking around.

[jberryhill]

39. I think she's being funny

[Initech]

22. Sounds like we have a future serial killer here.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. If she kills and cooks Rudolph, I hope she saves the nose

It could make a good nightlight in case of power outages or emergencies.

[jberryhill]

25. People - she wants to feed reindeer to the homeless

Untwist your binding undergarments and see this letter for what it is.

The "real life Justin Bieber"

And mom is going to comply?

Have you all lost your minds?

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. First thing mom needs to have a conversation on who st nick is

Second, commend her for wanting to feed the homeless, but somehow I do not think the spirit of christmas includes killing st nick

[RandySF]

29. Sounds like a future senate Republican leader.

[a simple pattern]

30. Apt combination of thread title and username.

[hfojvt]

32. now where have I heard that before?

Oh yes, one of my favorite Xmas songs

[Initech]

34. I think the Black Keys explain this girl pretty well:

[alp227]

36. future psychopath?

[REP]

37. Sounds like a "Boondocks" episode - Santa Sniper

[T S Justly]

40. Santa for sure isn't going to bring her anything, now... lol

Sounds like a childish boast, not to overreact over.

[MadHound]

42. It is parents like these that make teachers' jobs so hard

Parents that simply do not correct, control, or raise their kids to be something other than self centered, semi-psychopathic brats.
