People Are Saying It’s Illegal For Teens To Trick Or Treat In This One New Jersey Town
Many major news outlets in New Jersey and the surrounding areas covered a BIG story yesterday. It went viral, with thousands of shares in what seemed like mere minutes.
Trick or treating is a misdemeanor in Upper Deerfield Township!
Retractions have been made but the word hasn't quite spread. The original article garnered over 5,000 shares on one news site while the retraction barely received 50 shares.
Trick or treating past age 12 IS a misdemeanor in Chesapeake, Virginia. This law is rarely enforced and has made headlines as locals try to overturn it.
Had you heard this “news?” Can you imagine if it were true? What are your thoughts on limiting the age of trick or treaters? Should there be a penalty, or even possible jail time? In Virginia, teenage trick or treaters can face up to six months in prison (or a $25 fine, on the other end of the spectrum).
