[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School age includes ages 5-7. Are people really letting their 5 yr olds go trick or treating with other 5 yr olds with no adult/teenager supervision? That's nuts. [/quote]

Last year my K daughter went with a big group of kid ages 5-9yrs old and yes, no one had a parent there.  You go door to door getting candy.  Kids that age know how to cross streets.  What could possibly go wrong in your mind?  We live in a close knit neighborhood, not SE DC.

The most annoying parents are the ones that leave their house dark so both of them can go off and walk with their 8yr old trick or treating.  To me, that is nuts! [/quote]

I don't live in a close-knit neighborhood. And yes, my kids do play outside without continuous adult supervision (one of us checks every 10 mins or so). They are playing within earshot and know not to go further. For trick or treating, they would need to travel much further and cross streets to get more than a few pieces of candy. Not an option for my 5 yr old. We always hang back a bit and never go to the door. He doesn't mind.[/quote]
