For Families with Children the fall colors bring apple picking, pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating.
But as a parent, this season brings my biggest fears. Child Predators. Lucky for us Monroe County is pretty proactive when it comes to protecting our children. Convicted sex offenders in Monroe County are required to attend a meeting and movie night during trick-or-treat hours on Halloween.
For those who are still concerned and want to by-pass offenders homes here is a link to a searchable database of Home and Work Addresses for Registered offender.
This year’s official trick-or-treat hours in Bloomington, Ellettsville and the rest of Monroe County are 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.
Please Trick-or-Treat Safely.
