At What Age Is It Appropriate To Allow Kids Unsupervised Trick or Treating? [Poll]

My husband and I are now facing the conflict: should we let our 12 year old daughter go off with a friend trick or treating this year since she now wants nothing to do with us?  My inclination is yes. My husband says no.

We do however agree about our son.  As far as my 10 year old son is concerned, "no way!".  Knowing him, he'd end up on the other end of town with enough candy for a full year and of course have no idea where he was.  Of course all kids are different and parents are always spouting "It's not like it was when we were kids".  So tell us what you think and answer the quick poll below.
