Do not let children go trick or treating alone. An adult should accompany young children.
Accompany young children to the door of every house they approach. Stay within sight of the door.
Be familiar with every house and with all the people from which the children receive treats.
Children should be warned never to approach any house that is not well-lit and has no porch light on.
Children should be cautioned never to approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless they know the owner and are accompanied by a parent.
Children should be cautioned never to enter any home without prior permission from their parents.
Parents should inspect all treats and dispose of anything that has been opened or has never been wrapped, and police should be notified if something has been tampered with.
Children should be advised to run away from people who try to lure them with special treats.
Costumes should be short to prevent tripping. Use light colors and reflective materials.
Try using make-up on the child’s face instead of a mask, as a mask can obstruct a child’s view.
When using facemasks, ensure the child can see and breathe properly and easily.
Make sure that all children carry a glow stick or flashlight and wear reflective clothing.
