Move Along, There's No Candy Here

Five years ago, Missouri legislators passed a set of controversial restrictions on registered sex offenders meant to protect trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

Missouri’s rules have been well publicized , requiring registered sex offenders to turn off their exterior lights at 5 p.m., and stay inside their homes until 10:30 p.m. Offenders must also post signs warning would-be trick-or-treaters that they would find no candy at their homes.

Officials say warning kids about which homes to stay away from is the best way to keep them safe, Fleming explained.
