Halloween is a time for scaring, trick-or-treating, having fun, dressing up, partying and much more. It is a time to hangout with friends and loved ones, and a time to take kids trick-or-treating. We take them around peoples houses so they can trick-or-treat for their favorite candy's and treats.
Is Halloween supposed to be something else? Or is it a time for all the above that was just explained?
Well really it's for all the above, but for an 11 year old from the little town of Oil City located in Pennsylvania was not the case. This little girl was abducted off the streets and murdered. This is a tragedy for all, but it is time to over come this tragedy after 16 years of no trick-or-treating, but will always be remembered.
Elizabeth Roess who put this argument together and gathered signatures just so trick-or-treating could return made a huge turn around. She got what she wanted as well as many others, but said the only reason this happened to the 11 year old is because she wondered off by herself. Which means still keep an eye on your children and remember that this is in the past and this Halloween for them is a time for joy and having fun.
