I think it should be taken away from the kids. And I’ll tell you why.
Back in 1999 during my last exile in Philly, I was walking to get a cheesesteak on Halloween night and parents were taking their kids trick or treating into bars. Then I thought about it more. With all the child abductions that have been happening within the past year or so trick or treating is just not the brightest idea anymore. I mean we tell our kids not to take candy from strangers but on Halloween it’s ok. Then we dress them up in costumes that make it even easier for someone to abduct them. Have parties for them at school or the firehouse, but don’t make it easier on pedophiles to steal your kids.
