DUXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS \u2014 Local children agreed this week to skip trick-or-treating at houses displaying \u201cFree Lindsay\u201d signs this Halloween, deciding that any homeowner willing to publicly defend a woman accused of killing her own children was probably not someone they wanted to approach for candy.<\/p>\n

The neighborhood children reached the decision following weeks of watching suburban mothers defend the high-profile triple homicide.<\/p>\n

“We were gonna go up to that house because they had a giant inflatable ghost and a bowl of full-size candy bars on the porch,” said eight-year-old Tyler Henderson, who helped organize the neighborhood boycott. “But then we saw the sign. If they think she should be free, I don’t really want to find out what they think should be in the candy.”<\/p>\n
