Trick-or-Treating is Possible Again Thanks to a Small Boy
I just read an article about a small town in which trick-or-treating was banned until a small boy started a petition to make it possible. Trick-or-treating was banned in this Pennsylvania town due to a incident 16 years ago. A girl was kidnapped and killed. Many kids decided they wanted to take part in a tradition so a young boy started a petition to allow trick-or-treating. After many people had signed the petition, trick-or-treating was officially legal. I think this is a good thing for the town. Every child deserves to experience Halloween and the fun that comes with it. I also think parents should be aware of there childrens locations and actions. Even though the murder happened 16 years ago, things could happen and parents should be aware of that.
