This is the reason children should not be allowed to go out trick or treating. Do them a party at home, keep them safe and avoid your children becoming a nuisance to others, as most are being kept via state aid, in tax credits and child allowance anyway, so pay for a home party and avoid the odd balls out there.
Are you serious, most are being kept via state aid, get a life will you, the fact you said to keep them from being a nuisance to others speaks volumes about yourself, your comments has nothing to do with the original story but more to do with your own personal preference, I bet you never went trick or treating did you, it’s a much bigger thing In America and there’s loons with guns walking the streets, let the kids have their fun, from a loving working dad who went trick or treating and kids go trick or treating
you assume too much pal, my kids & I have been brought up with respect, from a council estate on benefits when need be, if parents or kids can’t be ‘bothered’ to put their phones down for 5 mins, then it may happen given the amount of ex cons here but the fact is that’s a 47 yr old LOCAL MAN & IF a parent wasn’t with their kids, shame on them
Banjo town !
