Cross only at corners when trick
or treating. Never cross between parked cars.
Walk facing the oncoming traffic
if there is no sidewalk.
Always remove masks before crossing
streets.
Carry a flashlight.
Be aware of cars that may be turning
into or backing out of driveways.
Never go inside a stranger's house.
Parents need to know the route
their children will be taking and make sure children are accompanied
by an adult. Set time limits on when children should return
home.
Instruct children NOT to eat treats
until they return home and parents have had a chance to inspect
those treats.
Never eat home made treats made
by strangers.
Only eat commercially wrapped
products and if you have any suspicions, throw it out!
Make sure costumes are made of
brightly colored, flame retardant material.
Put reflector strips on the costume,
so that children can be seen.
Avoid high-heeled shoes or long
dangling pieces that a child may trip over.
Drive cautiously on Halloween
Eve, when excited kids could dart out in front of your car.
Remove obstacles from lawns and
steps to prevent children from tripping or being otherwise injured.
