[quote=Anonymous]The issue here isn't whether he should be trick-or-treating in another neighborhood or your own, but whether he should be hanging out with kids who get into "mango fights" and who might egg and TP houses tonight.  You and your husband need to talk to your son about this, and plan for a way for him to leave the group if the other kids decide to act like jerks.  When our kids have been in this kind of situation, our plan has been for them to text us if they want to be rescued.  That way they can just say to the other kids, "I've gotta go -- my parents are nuts about curfews" or whatever excuse allows them to save face.  For tonight, set up a rendezvous spot and park nearby in case he needs you to get him early.

(BTW, I posted earlier that we live in a neighborhood that attracts tons of kids and we welcome polite teens wearing costumes.  Egging and TPing are definitely not polite, but, in 15 years we've never had a problem like that.  In fact, we've mostly had teens in very clever costumes -- my all-time favorites were two boys who came as Al Gore and a Social Security lockbox.)[/quote]
