In this time with so many unemployed near homeless people I find this completely tasteless. Why subject a child to this?
Sep 30, 2011
 Umm... no
by: Anne

Sorry, but I find this offensive. The homeless are PEOPLE. You might ignore them when you walk by them on the street, but you should at afford them at least enough dignity not to spoof them in a Halloween costume for a child.

 What about this is funny?
by: Laurie

I'm the first to tell people to lighten up when they're taking things too seriously, but this goes too far. This really is the worst kind of dismissal of the serious challenge that homelessness is for our society - it's so unimportant we'll make a costume, because people living on the street are similar to, say, superheroes or fairies... not really REAL. Would his sister wear a prostitute costume and carry the same sign? Or how about being made up like a battered woman? Yeah! Disgusting.

 Seriously?
by: Andreae

Am I the only person who finds this totally offensive? I know Hallowe'en is a time to face the things that frighten you, and there isn't much that frightens most of us parents more than the idea of having to raise our children on the streets, but I think this cuts a little close to the bone at a time when so many people are, in fact, homeless. Think about how the homeless parents of real, live homeless children would feel seeing a presumably non-homeless child dressed this way.

This little boy is precious, but the costume idea is disturbing. Being homeless isn't cute or funny.

I'm sorry, I love good humor, etc., however, there isn't anything funny or cute about this.

With the current homeless situation in our country today, this is not funny. It's offensive.

 Tasteless
by: Laurel

Being homeless is not a joke or something to be made fun of. It's a real problem that deserves support and sympathy. Teaching children to laugh at it is setting the wrong example.

 Give me a break, please
by: Anonymous

I think that this costume is hilarious! For those of you blowing the whistle on it...give me a break. When I was a child I think I dressed as a "hobo" at least 3 times when I was a kid (back then a "hobo" was a homeless person). And if memory serves me correctly it was quite a popular Halloween costume. There have always been homeless people in our society and there always will be. My mom would dress me up similar to the cute boy in the picture, but instead of the "sign" around his neck, I had a stick with a stuffed bandanna tied to the end. Unfortunately, our AMERICA has changed so much that it is certainly NOT the "Land of The Free".

BOO to all of you who have joined this circus of the NEW "American Way"....blame, shame, blame, shame. I suppose you will all be voting for the current president again. Then, maybe we really will have children begging on the streets.

 Disgusting
by: Brittany

This is a dehumanizing, tasteless idea that will be looked at by hundreds of people as "cute" and "precious" without some ever realizing the classist and harmful effects this image causes to society's (already distorted) view of neighbor.

 Lighten Up!
by: Anonymous

Ya'll need to lighten up, yes homelessness is a real problem, but did you know that many panhandlers make more than you? Also many of them are addicts or have mental disorders and currently our system does not have the support system needed.

So lighten up, its just a costume!

 shakes head
by: Homeless kid

To the people who think this is tasteless and offensive. hush up. It is meant to show what kids would do (in a wacky world)for candy. Meant to be funny not offensive. Because your offended by it doesnt mean its offensive, just means you are narrow minded.

 im glad people find this as disturbing as I do
by: Anonymous

Its not funny or cute to dress up as a marginalized population. I should just dress my kids up as starving refugees.

who ever said panhandlers make more then people with jobs, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, working in this field I know this is not fact, this is just what people tell themselves to feel better about dismissing another human being.
I would be ashamed of my parent if I grew up and saw that this dressed me up as hurting broken people for a laugh.
Oct 02, 2011
 yeah and...
by: Anonymous

this little kid is cute, and the costume, like all halloweenie costumes deserves 5 seconds of your thought and that is about it. maybe it will win a cute contest or something (cause let's face it without the costume this kid is photogenic.)
yeah, homelessness is a real problem and all that business, but seriously? people if you think that wagging your finger on the internet at a photo of a child you don't know is a way to somehow bring sharp focus to a real problem, you have missed the point of caring about such issues. if this offends you because you feel strongly about the homeless problem, channel that energy to go and fix the problem or at least be part of the solution. chastising people on the internet for what you believe to be bad taste is hardly making a difference to the actual problem.
For people who are making a difference in this matter, good for you! That is wonderful! however throwing it in anonymous people's face on the internet? not really needed.
i think having costumes make light of crappy things is another side to halloween. i have seen costumes of priest and altar boy, gay klansman, and many more that are just as offensive. it is just a costume, and it is just for candy. halloween is hardly the day that any child decides what kinds of social issues they will tackle when they grow up.

 It's a COSTUME!!!!
by: Anonymous

Really?? Have a sense of humor, it's Halloween and its the costume! Maybe to the parents it doesn't mean what it does to you (narrow minded ppl) Maybe they didn't want to put their kid in a superman or batman costume. Maybe the kid picked it themself. He's adorable and it's for Halloween so have fun with it!
Oct 03, 2011
 People get over yourself, the costume is great.
by: Anonymous

I personally don't do Halloween, but I thought it was cute and creative. People will dress there kids as devils and dead people and kills, but this is wrong. Leave this mom alone her idea is cute and rethink things for yourself if you really think this is wrong. The costume is great, keep it.

 It's Halloween for goodness sake...
by: Kendall

It's Halloween for goodness sake.. A time for children to dress via a costume and collect candy . That's it. That's all folks. He' sabsolutely precious; A beautiful little boy, who is lucky to have a mother who cares enough about him to make sure he 1) has a costume to wear and 2) wants to spend time w/ him doing something fun.

To imply that people who find this funny are insensitive is ridiculous. I care a great deal about the welfare of the people of this country, but I find this funny. I volunteer my time and money REGULARLY to various causes, but I find this funny. Relax people... he's adorable!

 Its called halloween
by: Anonymous

Come on people, I know homeless is not a joke. Be really its called Halloween just because we dress as a homeless for Halloween does not mean we are making fun of them. People dress up as doctors, police officers, serail killers etc etc. ITS CALLED DRESSING UP PEOPLE FOR HALLOWEEN. Next thing you know for all u nonsense of humor people, halloween will be baned and ruined for kids and adults because as american we take things to the heart, relax and enjoy halloween. WE ARE AMERICANS AND THE RIGHT TO DRESS AND TALK HOW WE FEEL. Trick a treat for all u buhumbugs

 Pretty Horrible
by: Anonymous

I'm the first person to tell people to lighten up, but this costume is going way too far. Why in the world would anyone allow their children to believe it's okay to mock a person who is suffering in this way?

And to the person above who is making this political, shame on you. You're exactly what's wrong with this country right now. No heart, no compassion just lies and blame.

I, for one, want to teach my child that we're a society and we're all in this together. Not a single person can do it alone. I will teach my child to respect those with challenges and help when they can.

 Really!
by: Anonymous

I think the costume is absolutely adorable, and I am actually dressing my son like this for Halloween. I am truly amazed to see how many find this offensive. I don't have a lot of money for fancy costumes, and as many others have said, I used to dress up like a "hobo" all the time when I was a kid. The sad part is I have seen "hobo's" stand outside for hours and collect all kind of money then walk around the back of the plaza they just loitered and get into a brand new car! I feel bad for those who truly are homeless, I have been there myself, but c'mon people it's a harmless kids costume... Lighten up! Just be a good parent and teach your child better then to "make fun" of less fortunate.

 Geez
by: Court

Some people need to get the sticks out of their butts lol, if your not homeless then there is no reason to be offended. I dressed up as a "hobo" plenty of times when I was little, so did many in my neighborhood. Its a cheap and easy costume for parents on a budget.

I'm blown away by all the cynical, critical and narrow-mindedness that surrounds us in this country. From a simple photo of a costumed child, a diatribe has erupted on social and political issues. Seriously? I am a mother of three and also a middle school teacher. Halloween is certainly not a time for analyzing our nations detriment. Especially where our precious children are involved. That child and most other children will never give a second thought to a "hobo" costume. Children shouldn't have to be exposed to adult problems. Yes there are people who are less fortunate, but teach your children to be grateful and giving. Nobody is making "fun" of anything dressing up this way. Where are the arguments for the other costumes? The simple fact remains: these are costumes. The true problem with our country indeed lies in the hands of these critics. Because of these people, there is fault in everything, there are negative attitudes, and "What's wrong with you?! - I'm perfect" perspectives. I'm extremely disappointed and saddened by the verbal attack shown by others to this poor woman.

I dressed as a hobo for Halloween as a kid and no one chastised my parents. Why? Because it's a COSTUME for HALLOWEEN. So, should we ban pirates (those murdering, pillaging thieves)? How about little baby ghosts (ghosts are paranormal... bad bad bad)? Or Witches on broomsticks? Frankenstein? See my point?

Shame on you, soapbox preachers!!!! Go get a job (any job, not just the glamorous one you think someone owes you for gracing Earth with your presence)and do something productive with your time. Leave this cute little trick-or-treater (and his clever parents) alone.

I don't usually ever comment on these things, but some of these people are being absolutely ridiculous! If you don't like the costume, don't dress your kid as that...simple solution!! I don't find it offensive or crude, this is a Halloween costume on a cute little boy!!

My son has asked to be a hobo this year and he's 9....and guess what...I'd MUCH rather him dress up as a homeless person for Halloween than a devil or some other disturbing costume! But that doesn't mean that I'll go bashing everyone else that does let their kids dress up like that! The old saying "if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all" rings true in this situation!! Great costume to the mom that made this :)

 Unemployed & intends to dress just like this!!
by: Anonymous

I came back to this picture because I am thinking about doing this myself for Halloween! I am 47 years old, have worked all my life but lost my job in February because of the economy! Thank the good Lord I am not homeless but I am unemployed & will be doing it to make fun of my bad situation! All the nasty comments are ridiculous, it's a great costume! And that's what it is, a costume!! For one night, probably no more than 2 hours! I, like so many others that have commented dressed as a hobo many times growing up! This country has gone crazy! My other option is to be a decapitated Obama ~ wonder how many that would offend?

There are so many Freddie Kruger, Hannibal Lector, hookers & pimps, Bill Cinton & Monica Lewinsky, devils, ghouls, witches, etc that no One blinks an eye at. She is showing how cute, cost-effective, and easy a home-made costume is all about. I want to give this little boy all the candy I can. Maybe, that's the lesson you can learn from this! Happy Halloween. Be who & what you want to be!

This is adorable...for those of you complaining about this you need to first know the definition of a "Hobo".

Well we do not know the reasons behind the parents dressing their child up like this however before we all judge we should look at the possibilities. Maybe they are trying to make more people aware that because people are homeless does not make them any less valuable as a person what better way to do this then by reaching all those that they come across on a night like halloween as we all know that we see more people that night than any other, also not to mention all of you here on the net that are commenting on this picture. Maybe they do not have a lot of money themselves and did not want their child to miss out on the halloween experince and came up with a costume that would not cost a lot as he is wearing everyday clothes and a little of "Mom's" makeup for the beard. I just think that we are becomin more negative in judging people and need to think af what the other possibilities are. The little boy is super cute regardless of the reason for the costume.

 Misplaced priorities
by: Anonymous

Halloween is a time for dressing up as that which frightens us. This parent is obviously aware of the current economic situation and finds legitimate fear in the potential outcomes of said situation and has created an (obviously) satirical child costume.

The parent of this child is painfully more aware of what is going on in the world than those who have commented before me.

This is obvious by the effort people have put into getting all bent out of shape over what will not even be remembered by the general public a month from now, when there are so many far more important things they could be getting worked up over which might actually have a shot at being changed for the better if they'd only direct that piss and vinegar in a more constructive direction.

Just sayin'...

OKay seriously people yea homelessness is a problem but i have seen so many costumes that make fun of all sorts of people.

At SDSU they have hobo days where pretty much the WHOLE SCHOOL dresses as a hobo and celebrates homecoming..you gunna b*tch at the school for that too?

 seriously
by: freespirited

Maybe instead of wasting your time browsing the web you should get off your ass, complaining about children's costumes and help make a difference with the homeless! I volunteer weekly helping the homeless and I find not a thing wrong with this adorable little guy and his costume... it is just that. A COSTUME!! This is the one time a year you can choose to be what ever you want. Too many people are shallow minded and take things way too seriously. Opinions are like assholes... we all have them and they often stink and should be kept to yourself.

The world would be a better place if people wouldn't pass judgment on anyone for the thing they choose to do... it is what makes us all unique and interesting!!! Kudos mom for being creative.

For those of you who think this is funny, I would like to ask have you ever even been to a homeless shelter? I have been volunteering at one for the last 12 years. There are homeless children running around here in the United States who are hungry and need food. So sad that parents are teaching their children to trivialize such a serious epidemic.

Whoever said "maybe then we will have children begging on the streets." Do you really not know that entire families are homeless? This includes children. Yes ones that I've seen, and ones that my friends see every day in the city of Chicago. People also used to find it acceptable to institutionalize people who had disabilities, and cure "mental" disabilities with lobotomies. Still wanna keep old traditions alive?
The past existing is inevitable. Learning from the past is the part that changes the future.

Again...something taken totally out of context. B concerned about something that really matters then actually DO something about it. Go ahead make a difference...I dare you.Most of you are quick to criticize but do nothing to change the problem...maybe he was collecting candy to give to the "homeless" kids! Halloween is dressing up in any costume you can come up with in your imagination and having fun as a kid. Its not intended to be a social issue.

This is not making fun of the homeless... it's just making fun. Besides half of the "homeless" who actually stand at street corners with signs like this make abou $60,000/year and go home every night. Lighten up people.

 POOR TASTE

This is awful & tasteless, you should be ashamed of yourself for using your child to make fun of those fortunate.

Just remember, usually what goes around comes around too.
