Should there be an age limit for trick-or-treating?

Lots of towns have trick-or-treating age limits now, usually around 13 or 14.  Upper Deerfield Township in New Jersey is in the news after setting their age limit at 12.

Someone asked over 5,000 Americans how old is TOO OLD to trick-or-treat.  And most people said somewhere in your teenage years.  43% said somewhere between 13 and 16.

“16 or older” was the most common answer with 15% of the vote.  Then 13 years old was next at 14%.

Some people think the cutoff should be even younger:  10% said 12 years old . . . 3% said 11 . . . 3% said 10 . . . and 2% said younger than that.  27% said no age limit.
