[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Not to derail this discussion but I would not let my 5-year-old go trick or treating in a group without parents.  [/quote]

Agreed.  My 5 and 7 year olds are definitely with an adult!  We don't always go up to the door, but we stay at the curb and watch.  [/quote]
This. My kids are 8 & 10 now, and I keep them in sight. I don’t go to the door and I let them run ahead with friends, but they are certainly not out without me or another parent. We have a great group of neighborhood kids. Usually another parent or two ask me and a couple other parents to keep tabs on their kids. So 2-4 adults behind 5-10 kids.[/quote]
