I’m seeing this debate a lot more this year than usual, and I’m genuinely curious on the consensus on how people feel about it.
I’m personally not for children being at the event, for themselves, the scare actors, and other patrons benefit. People who bring their children usually don’t see how a child being their is affecting the house or zone, scare actors will tone down at the risk of a screaming child making a mad parent complain, which drags it down for others nearby, it’s also stressful for the actors. I’m sure some enjoy interacting with kids, but the actors I know dread seeing a child walk up due to the risks.
I’ve also seen people almost trip over kids in scare zone, around the Fanta bar, I know it’s cruel but most people arent going to care (or are too drunk to) pay attention to kids running around.
I think something needs to be done about it, even it’s just stricter on making sure people are supervising their kids or do a parent swap system with houses, but what do other think are good solutions? I think HHN used to be 13+, should it be again?
