Columnist Defends Trick-or-Treating Amid Parental Anxiety
Original: Eli McCann: When parents let their kids roam at night, knocking on strangers’ doors? It was called Halloween.
Salt Lake Tribune columnist Eli McCann has published a piece pushing back against modern parental anxieties about letting children go out at night and knock on strangers' doors, pointing out that this activity already has a name: Halloween. His essay argues that trick-or-treating is a safe, long-standing tradition, and his wry framing has struck a chord with readers weary of overprotective parenting debates.
Why now: His humorous defense of traditional Halloween freedoms resonates with ongoing debates about helicopter parenting and children's independence.
