Halloween isn't far off now, but when should you tell your kid they should stop going door-to-door asking for treats? If you're heading to Chesapeake, Virginia you can only be age 12 or under to trick-or-treat, and you can actually be slapped with a misdemeanor and a $100 fine if you break the rule. Also, in Virginia Beach, Portsmith, Suffolk, and Norfolk there are Statues that make trick-or-treating beyond age 12 a crime. Other states that have certain towns that generally limit trick-or-treating to those ages 12 and under include New Jersey, Illinois, and South Carolina. A survey from Today found 73 percent of respondents said kids should stop trick-or-treating between the ages of 12 and 17. Psychologist Dr. Vanessa Lapointe says in places where parents have a choice, the decision to stop should be made with the needs and wants of both parents and children in mind, and not what the neighbors might think.
