[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 207159, member: 1233"] Wow, Mischief Night? We NEVER had this, and I grew up in this college town! And to have PARENTS be "get away drivers"? I am disgusted. That is just so tacky and rude, not to mention making the parents a part of the vandalism. I guess I just remember the trouble some of the kids I went to high school got into. They went to a party where there wasn't a parent home, TP's and egged the house (outside) and a whole bunch of htem got charged with vandalism, lost scholarships, etc... I think about 15 kids ended up on probation. I cannot imagine what they would do to an adult who helped. I know the really rich neighborhoods get flooded with kids every year. The rumor is theat they give out full size bars of candy, and they don't. but the rumor has persisted since before I was a teen. We have college groups that do things for halloween to make it safe - one group fills our Expo Center (where the county fair is) with games adn kids come to get candy. I "pay" my kids with a bag of candy EACH if they don't make me go there, LOL! IT is hot and crowded and noisy, just too much for thank you and I with the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). But several dorms and sorority houses also do trick or treating. Kids go along certain floors, decorated, and get candy. It seems fun for the college kids too. What all do your communities do that is different from the door to door trick or treating? (oh, the 12 and under isn't MY limit - it is our town's age limit. Older kids can only go if they are taking younger siblings, or that is what is supposed to happen. No one enforces it strictly, but it does help keep vandalism down.) [/QUOTE]
