The most fun age to take children trick or treating may be when they are toddlers. But that can also be when they are most in danger.

Eleven years ago, with my first child, I didn’t have the wealth of information available to moms today. I didn’t really have internet access, and I lived a few hours away from my family. In many ways, this was a good thing.
