KEEP TRICK OR TREATERS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!
Tips to keep kids safe while trick-or-treating. Some suggestions include:
- Never trick-or-treat alone
- Never enter a stranger’s house
- Wear a light-colored costume or put reflective tape on a costume so the child is visible to cars
- Never run across the middle of a street – stay on the sidewalks and cross at crosswalks only
- Make sure children can see clearly if they are wearing a mask
- Don’t eat any goodies until you have inspected them
- Take a flashlight
- For older kids who are going with a group of friends – find out where they are going, with whom, and when they will return
- Turn on the FIND function on the their phones
- All children’s costumes should be flame retardant and fit properly. Avoid minor bumps, brusies, and serious falls with costume sense
Have a smart safe FUN time.
