The following are some Halloween safety tips to ensure that children and families are safe during Halloween:
- Children should stay within familiar areas and surroundings. Parents should establish a route for children.
- Children should use flashlights and stay on sidewalks and children should cross the street at corners / crosswalks and not between parked cars.
- Children should never go into homes — stay on the porch or stoop when asking for treats. Children should never talk to strangers or get into strangers’ cars.
- Children should travel in small groups and be accompanied by parents or an authorized adult chaperone.
- Children should know their home phone number and their parents’ cell phone numbers, when applicable. Children should also have their names and addresses attached to their costumes.
- Children should bring home treats before eating them so parents can inspect them.
- Parents should inspect all candy and other treats before they are eaten. Discard all unwrapped or loosely wrapped candy or fruit. If in doubt, throw it out.
- Adults should only give and accept wrapped or packaged candy.
- Adults should keep porch lights on and their driveways illuminated and homeowners should ensure that their walkways are cleared of debris on which children may trip and fall.
- Motorists should drive slowly and watch carefully for children.
