No One Tricked Your Treats

Contrary to popular myth, no one has ever died of a poisoned popcorn ball, a razor-blade apple or needled candy bars. The tradition of giving out homemade treats died out because of this myth that is perpetuated every year. Hospitals waste thousands of dollars X-Raying bags of candy worth less than $5 retail to assuage parental fears over a nonexistent threat.

The only child murdered on Halloween was poisoned by his own father. Other than social workers taking him away, none of the ridiculous measures taken today would have saved him. Nefarious neighbors don't kill children; crazy parents do.

The biggest threats to your kids on Halloween are: cars, dogs, paranoia and you!
