That is the lamest thing I have ever heard.
I don't like it but parents with kids will find anything and everything to get out of trudging 30 blocks on a muddy cold night where 3 out of 10 houses on a lane are even giving candy, listening to a temperamental 5 year old suddenly decide they're bored and its a 30 minute walk home and the temperature is dropping faster than you thought it would?
Fast forward to 10 years old, they go out with their friends and don't come back an hour later than you said to be home by, because they left their tracker-app phone at home and went to a party you told them not to. Sure parenting plays a part but anyone with kids will tell you those crafty shits will find a way to slip the sturdiest net.
I see why it took off and had held on. I hand out full size bars and host driveway games - aint spending big money on decor and blowups. My house is the one you WANT to come to. But I can tell you the rest of the neighborhood just shrugs and says "whatever".
