As Halloween approaches, the nights will continue to get darker, making it possible for a potential predator to strike if your child wanders out of sight. In order to make sure that the night starts and ends well, there are a few measures that can be taken to ensure this.
• If a group of young children are going door-to-door asking the well know trick or treat question, it's vital that they stay within sight of you.
• In case your child does get mixed up in the crowd, you may want to think about attaching something beforehand on them that will easily point them out.
• Instill in your children the importance of not talking to strangers.
• Maximize you and your child's safety by staying in well lit areas and by tagging along with other parents and their children.
Know your neighbors!
