I was never attacked, physically nor verbally, I was a witness probably for about 12 years in total.
I think you are right to be concerned for the safety of your wife and child, maybe you could point out to her that the witnesses themselves will say it is wrong to let your children trick or treat or carol sing because they point out the dangers of knocking on a strangers door.
My husband and his 5 sisters have all had horrible experiences out in field service. From being physically attacked to having dogs chase them and bite them.
One of the wierdest stories I have heard about field service was from our good friend. He, a brother and a sister were out in service and a man came to the door with a shotgun and made them come into the house. When he got them in the house he made them drink with him. He made them all drink a few shots of Whiskey and then he let them leave.
As far as sex offenders in the field service territory, I was told the loving brothers know where these people are and don't allow people to go to those doors. This was what I heard from my mother in law.

Check_Your_Premises the brolly was mady by Boss. The Brolly is short for Umbrella. It had a button to press, very cool stuff!
Yup. This angry woman's chihuahua attached itself to my leg, and the damned thing would not let go. It hurt like h e double hockey sticks, until I knocked it off with my briefcase....stupid dog. To this day I do not like chihuahuas. The woman pulled her "baby" inside and slammed the door without even as much as a"Are you ok?" I was 13 at the time, a child still....stupid woman, and her stupid dog!!! GRRRR.....
A 'brother' here in long beach was hit over the head with a rock. It knocked him unconscious. The blood ruined his suit. :)
I also know of a friend in the philippines that had a bucket of urine dumped on them from the upstairs window of a house.
for me though,, nothing other than some slammed doors and one finger salutes.

Countless verbal abuses including "get in the F... gutter you C... and die scum".....he later was badly burned in a car racing accident and I wondered if Jehovah allowed this to happen to him.
Another man grabbed me by the shoulder and pushed me all the way to his gate and pushed me out.
A woman set her dobermans on my first wife and I and said that's why she keeps them....we were 200metres up her driveway.
A bull terrier grabbed hold of my hand and the owwner let it hold me painfully for a while then called it off.
In the country walking up a long drive pioneering on my own a German Shepherd stalked me behind bushes and attacked my legs and buttocks as I got near the house , the owners did'nt call the dog off and I had to flee beating it off with my witnessing bag.
I never provoked and was never pushy and tried to respect peoples privacy
CYP. This serious what I am about to tell you. We live near the world headquarters and were assigned Jewish, Hasidic areas. Well, we were attacked physically, cars were destroyed, one brother suffered a concussion. Another brother had his book bag ripped from his person. Another brother had a pipe at the back of his head as they forced him out of the area. Phone calls were made by the Hadsim from the information found in the book bag. Threathening the brothers if they came back into the area again.
The Society made us drop the criminal charges we made against the Hadsidims. This was in the 70"s. We been around for over 35 years. We have moved and faded since then.

I had a dog that bit the magazine case I fed him (instead of my leg). Though when I was about 8 I guess some guy was yelling and swearing at us calling us parasites and threatening to break our legs if we ever came back. I gather his mother was a regular donator and he thought we were sucking her dry.
BLONDIE, yes, i hated that crap. all the cliques. what a spiritual paradise!
