“I wouldn’t let my son go out this year. I didn’t let him go out before and now, no way. There’s just too much we don’t know.”

Lynetta Harris

Culver City

“Nope. I don’t have children, but if I did, I certainly wouldn’t let them go trick-or-treating. … It’s barely safe to go outside and I don’t think it’s getting any better, either.”

Len Hawkins

Los Angeles

“I have grandkids that I haven’t seen for months, so I doubt if they’re going out for Halloween. I don’t think there should be a total lockdown, but going out like that, you’re just asking for trouble.”

Raymond Jackson

Los Angeles

If kids want wear to their costume with their masks on and walk around the neighborhood, I don’t see nothing wrong with it. I think the whole COVID thing is getting over blown.”
