Plainfield's Halloween Safety Plan

Plainfield's 2007 Plainfield Halloween Safety plan is as follows:

1. Voluntary curfew at 7:30pm. Parents to call in minors and end trick-or-treating at 7:30pm.
2. Homeowners are asked to stop giving out candy at 7:30pm.
3. Report ANY and ALL inappropriate behavior to the Police right away.

There will be a full, visible Police deployment throughout the city. But for the Police to react and respond, you must call in all inappropriate behavior.

These simple voluntary guidelines were devised by a citizen committee after untoward events during last year's celebration, and will help ensure a safe and happy Halloween for everyone.

Question: What ever happened to 'Trick or Treat for UNICEF'? The program we participated in as kids is still around (see its website here), but I have never heard reference to it in Plainfield. Candy and good deeds.What could be wrong with that combination?
