Tennesse law regarding Halloween and Sex Offenders..

I ran across this on CNN.Com I thought it was a great idea that all states should adopt....



Law enforcement officials are taking steps to keep sex offenders away from children on Halloween. For example, in accordance with Tennessee state law, sex offenders are limited to the following: Neither they, nor anyone in their home, may answer the door to trick-or-treaters They may not pass out candy or give Halloween treats to children Their homes may not be decorated for the holiday, either inside or outside They may not visit haunted houses, corn mazes, hay rides or any other seasonal activities They may not attend any function where children are gathered, including private residences They may not wear costumes They may not accompany a trick-or-treating child
