| HALLOWEEN HORROR WANTS TO HELP LEAD THE WAY TO A SAFE AND FUN HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT NIGHT HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS TO HELP THAT HAPPEN! |
1. NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD TRICK OR
TREATING ALONE. MAKE SURE AN ADULT
IS WITH THEM. REMEMBER AN OLDER
BROTHER OR SISTER, A TEENAGE
NEIGHBOR OR FRIEND MIGHT JUST GET
CAUGHT UP IN THE HOLIDAY AND FORGET
THEIR CHARGE FOR A MOMENT. A
MOMENT CAN BE CRUCIAL!
2. USE MAKEUP INSTEAD OF MASKS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE. BEING ABLE TO
HAVE A CLEAR EYE SIGHT VIEW IS HALF
THEIR FUN AND MUCH SAFER FOR THEM.
3. TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THEM AND MAKE
SURE THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE TO
STAY WITHIN YOUR SIGHT AS THEY GO
DOOR TO DOOR. IF THEY SPEED PAST
YOU MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A
RECOGNIZABLE MARK, LIKE A COLORED
GLOW LIGHT OR REFLECTIVE STRIP SO
THEY CAN EASILY IDENTIFY AND FIND YOU.
4. KEEP YOUR KIDS IN YOUR OWN
NEIGHBORHOOD TO TRICK OR TREAT. A
PROBLEM IS LESS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH WHERE YOU ARE.
5. MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS HAVE A
FLASHLIGHT OR GLOW LIGHT OF SOME
KIND. THIS WILL LIGHT THEIR WAY AND
ALSO ENABLE YOU TO SEE THEM.

6. URGE YOUR CHILDREN TO REMAIN
OUTSIDE DOORS WHEN THEY TRICK OR
TREAT. THEY SHOULD NEVER GO INSIDE
UNLESS YOU ARE WITH THEM.
7. URGE YOUR CHILDREN TO NEVER EAT
CANDY UNTIL YOU GET HOME AND CAN
CHECK IT OUT TOGETHER. (WHEN YOU DO
CHECK THE CANDY DISCARD ANY THAT IS
OPEN, RIPPED OR HAVE PINHOLES.
DISCARD HOME MADE TREATS IF THEY ARE
FROM SOMEONE OTHER THEN A WELL
KNOWN NEIGHBOR. REMEMBER THAT EVEN
THE SMALLEST HOLE OR TEAR COULD
MEAN SOMETHING IS WRONG. SOME OF
THE HOSPITALS AND FIRE STATIONS WILL
XRAY CANDY FOR FREE TO MAKE SURE IT
IS FREE OF METAL OBJECTS, BUT YOU
STILL MUST BE CAREFUL THAT SOMETHING
HAS NOT BEEN INJECTED INTO THE CANDY.)
8. MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS KNOW ROAD
SAFETY AS WELL. NEVER CROSS WITHOUT
LOOKING BOTH WAYS AND TO NEVER DART
OUT BETWEEN PARKED CARS.
9. BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND KEEP AN
EYE OUT FOR THOSE KIDS WITHOUT A
PARENT OR ADULT. WATCH FOR DISTRESS
SIGNALS OR OTHER PROBLEMS.
10. MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS KNOW THE
RULES! DISCUSS IT WITH THEM!

HALLOWEEN SHOULD BE FUN BUT TRICK OR TREATING IS
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. THE SAFEST HALLOWEEN
WOULD BE A PARTY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS AND
EVEN THE CHURCHES AND FIRE STATIONS OFFER AN
ALTERNATIVE TO TRICK OR TREATING. THIS CAN BE JUST AS
MUCH FUN.
HOWEVER IF YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE YOUR KIDS OUT TO
TRICK OR TREAT PLEASE STAY SAFE. ALWAYS MAKE SURE
YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILD IS WEARING AND PLEASE
MONITOR THEM CLOSELY. MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT
THE RULES ARE FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THAT THEY ARE TO
ABIDE BY THEM.
WHICH EVER YOU CHOOSE HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
