Halloween Safety Tips for Families
Before heading out for a night of trick-or-treating, keep these simple safety tips in mind:
Stay visible: Use flashlights, glow sticks, and reflective tape so children can be seen after dark.
Plan your route: Stick to familiar neighborhoods and accompany younger children.
Watch for traffic: Use sidewalks and cross at intersections. Drivers should be extra cautious around residential streets.
Inspect candy: Check treats before children eat them, including packaging and potential allergens.
Respect neighbors: Visit homes with porch lights on and use designated walkways.
