(ASBURY PARK PRESS) — Should there be an age limit for trick-or-treating? Some people think there should.

In New Jersey, two towns have set age limits for trick-or-treaters: Pennsauken in Camden County, which banned kids older than 14 in 2017, and Upper Deerfield Township in Cumberland County.

“Trick or treating is for kids, not adults. Anyone over the age of 14 cannot go out trick or treating, unless you’re acting as a chaperone,” Pennsauken said on its website at the time. “And unfortunately, chaperones can’t ask for any candy or treats. They have to wait until they get home to help their kids ‘sort’ the candy.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
