Attorney General Kwame Raoul is reminding parents and guardians to check the state’s sex offender registry before finalizing Halloween plans and determining trick-or-treat routes for their children.
“With many Halloween activities coming up this weekend, I am encouraging parents, grandparents and guardians to keep their families safe by checking the Illinois State Police Offender Registry before leaving home,” Raoul said. “While Illinois law prohibits child sex offenders from distributing candy, searching the registry is a simple step that families can take before leaving home to ensure everyone has a happy and safe Halloween.”
