Trick-or-Treat Safely

Trick-or-treating is a favorite Halloween activity for most children, so parents should be aware of some tips to keep them safe. Place reflective gear on your children's costumes and candy bags to ensure their visibility to other people and cars around them. Also, check costume labels to make sure the fabric is flame-retardant.

If your children will not be trick-or-treating with you this year, make sure they travel in a group of three or more. They should have a watch - preferable one that glows in the dark - and they should know what time to be home. Also, send them with a cell phone or enough change for an emergency call.
