Should teens be allowed to trick-or-treat?
Placeholder Image
Patti Woods-LaVoie loves Halloween and all things candy, but she has a hard and fast rule when it comes to teens and trick-or-treating. Show up at her door in Trumbull, Conn., with a costume — and she means something more than a baseball hat and jersey — and her candy bowl is your candy bowl. Ring her bell in street clothes and you’ll get teabags, ramen noodles, shampoo samples or some other discard from her pantry or closets.
