        All in the name of "religious freedom", which the right has morphed into using Christianity as an excuse to discriminate.

        Or that religious freedom only applies to one. Imagine if a Muslim did this... especially in the South..

        This (12) is around the age I stopped but how do you enforce this? If you're guessing by appearance I could have kept trick-or-treating until I was ~16. Also, what if an older sibling were to take their brother/sister out, are they going to be punished?

        And what about intellectually disabled kids who maybe 15 but have the capacity of a 6 year old? This may be the only time they're like "all the other kids" & they want to take that away?

        Ridiculous. Our society forces kids to grow up too fast these days. If a kid wants to cling to one part of childhood a little longer, YAY! My rule was always you had to have a costume. Didn't care how old (One year, had special treats for parents/older sibs taking kids)

        Having grown up in PA where Halloween was for kids, I was ecstatic to learn that in CA, it's for everyone. The kids, teachers, bank tellers, store clerks, etc. It's just about having fun for a few hours. These restrictions epitomize government overreach. Leave those kids alone!

        They shout about a nonexistent war on Christmas while whispering and plotting to destroy Halloween. Christmas is going down. Happy Holidays.

        6 months in jail for trick and treating It's like a twilight zone episode where you say something ridiculous because you were a little bit put out-and someone morphs it into a reality of pure evil.
