Safety Tips for Parents
A parent or responsible adult should always accompany younger children during the trick or treating fun.
Older children should be given a specific time to be home. Make them wear a watch.
Have your child eat dinner before heading out to trick or treat.
Make sure each child carries and uses a flashlight with new batteries.
Know where your children are going. Make sure they have access to a cell phone so they can check in with you.
Tell them to never eat any candy before you can inspect it.
Unhaunt your Home

Remove anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, bikes, toys, and lawn decorations.
Check outdoor lights and replace any burned out bulbs.
Wet leaves should be swept from sidewalks and steps.

Great Sound Advice! Sadly, I think the time has come to do away with door to door Trick or Treating…so many organizations, churches, etc have Halloween or harvest parties nowadays which tends to be alot safer.
