Why do we teach our kids not to take things from strangers but let them at Halloween?

Answer 1

You're so right. Have you also noticed how children are asked to say hello to strangers that the parents are speaking to? weird world.

Answer though is: We don't think

Answer 2

I find any form of begging by children abhorrent, Halloween an American tradition, is a moke up of "All Hallows Eve"
I know the word 'mock' doesn't exist but I could think of no other!

Yes I do agree with your lack of understanding, three times a year parents allow their children to ask strangers for money and gifts forgetting what they teach them throughout the year and always on dark cold nights.
October - Halloween
November - Guy Forks
December - Christmas Carols
I join your lack of understanding (My children and now my grand children are not allowed to beg)

Answer 3

I dont know why some people let their children go to strangers at halloween, I however only take them to people's house that we know , family , friends , and neighbors..

Answer 4

well because on Halloween there's usually an adult near by watching and parents and there kids usually check the candy before they eat it.

Answer 5

Because most people stay around their estate/neighbourhood, and kind of know mostly everyone, plus if its young children shouldnt there be with an adult with them?

Answer 6

Don't you check all the candy before you let them eat it? It is just all in fun. You going to take that away from them?
