County bans Halloween for sex offenders
County bans Halloween for sex offenders, A California county yesterday banned sex offenders from decorating their homes to attract kids on Halloween or from giving out candy to children when they come "trick or treating".
The Riverside County ordinance also barred sex offenders from lighting up their homes on the evening of October 31, when youngsters traditionally go door-to-door in search of treats. riverside halloween banned sex offenders,
That would mean no pumpkins, no scary goblins, and no answering the door from 5pm until midnight.
"Our responsibility is to protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens... One molestation is too many in this county."
But county resident Julie Waltz said she was unimpressed with the ordinance. riverside halloween banned sex offenders,
