Hold Your Kids Hand
Come on, parents, this one should be obvious – you need to hold your kid's hands and go with them during Trick-or-Treating. I know it’s obvious, but why do I see so many kids wandering the streets alone? Don’t you know there are predators out there looking for children? Never let your guard down, not even on Halloween night – not even on Christmas night.
Reflectors
They make cool necklaces you can put on your child that light up. You can also put glow sticks all over. This will make you visible for when you are crossing the road.
Frequently asked questions
Check the Candy
I know, I know, you can’t wait to eat that candy. You have such a sweet tooth, that you want to eat the candy on the ride home. However, you should resist this urge. The candy needs to be checked. There are some sick people out there and if anything looks even the slightest bit open, toss it.
Short Costume
The costume should be short enough so that the costume will not be tripped over. It is important to avoid baggy costumes. Yes, the costume may look cool, but you have to keep safety in mind.
Face Paint
If you are using face paint, it is important that you make sure it is safe. It should be hypoallergenic and non-toxic paint. Use paint that is distinctly made for the face.

Remove Any Choking Hazards
