I was thinking about how I would address this if a kid came to my door dressed like that. Do you punish a kid for their parent's stupidity? I know the kid would not have come up the idea. Hey Mom, I wanna be Ray Rice, beating a woman for Halloween. Uhm, no. kids want to be scary monsters, firemen, cartoon characters and military people. Not wife beaters.

I do know I would give the parent an earful with the kid standing there listening. Hopefully taking in the lesson that dressing up as a wife beater or anything similar is repugnant to many people.
