Halloween Safety for Kids, Teens and Parents

Published on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 | 4:37 pm
 

Kids love dressing up in costume, going house to house trick-or-treating or participating in Harvest Day/Halloween celebrations! Keep your October 31st activities safe and fun by following these safety tips:

– Start the evening with a nutritious meal and water before the kids start eating too much candy.
– Don’t go trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.

– Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and for others see you.

– Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.

– Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.

– Look both ways before WALKING across the street and use crosswalks wherever possible.

– If you are a young teen and going out with friends, make sure your parents know where you are going

and who you are going with. This may seem like a pain but they just want you to be safe.
– Only visit well-lit houses and never go inside.
– Wear flame-resistant costumes and ensure clothing and shoes fit properly to avoid trips and falls.

– Avoid wearing masks that block your view.

– Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short and flexible to avoid injuries.

– Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.

– Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
– Never accept rides from strangers.

– Carry a fully charged cellphone for emergencies.

Remember, if you “SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING” about suspicious activity or people lurking in your neighborhood or appear to be following you. Report observations promptly to your local police.
