A greedy Texas mom and her family were severely roasted on social media after being caught on camera emptying an entire bowl of Halloween candy to take home.
The unidentified woman and her family raided a huge candy bowl kept outside of musician Cody Tate’s house yesterday.
Video footage posted by Tate shows three adult women running up to the bowl and grabbing fistfuls of candy while a bunch of kids and a teen ran up behind them.
The group of nine emptied the bowl in a matter of seconds, unaware that they were being recorded on Tate’s Ring camera.

In the end, the family is seen running off while the teen takes one last look to check if any candy was left for him to take.
A sign had reportedly been hung outside the house instructing visitors to pick only one piece of candy, which the family had ignored.
The musician, who is a member of Whiskey Myers, posted the video on Instagram and captioned it: ‘And this is why you can’t trust people. If you know who it is share. I figured it would happen but not adults. Now all the kids after these people can’t have any candy.’

Many viewers expressed their disgust at the family’s actions. One user wrote: ‘And those kids are going to grow up to be just like those adults, or worse. Sad.’
Another user also wrote: ‘It doesn’t matter who they are, where they came or what their nationality. What matters is the horrible example they are teaching their children of greed and selfishness.
‘To me it’s a wake up call to teach by example. Kindness, compassion and politeness needs be taught more than ever in today’s world! Let’s all do a little better.’
One user shared Tate’s concern about other kids not getting any candy and wrote: ‘Unbelievable. No care for the children who will come after them and find it empty.’
A couple of hours later, Tate posted another video on his Instagram story where one of his neighbors is seen emptying a bag of candy into the bowl outside his house
Tate captioned it: ‘There are still good people out there! Neighbor Scott for Halloween MVP!

No members of the family have yet been identified and it is not known whether they are also neighbors or door-to-door trick-or-treaters.
