Halloween is just around the corner and as a homeowner and parent myself, I am always concerned about the safety of my home and children. Of course Halloween is supposed to be a fun and carefree time, but all the fun can be quickly ruined if certain precautions are not taken. Here are some tips to ensure your family has an enjoyable yet safe Halloween!
For trick or treaters:
1. Always trick or treat in a familiar neighborhood.
2. Do not let children under 10 years old go trick or treating alone.
3. Use the sidewalks and crosswalks as much as possible.
4. The larger the group, the better.
5. Do not let your children into a stranger's home without accompanying them.
6. Check your child's candy before they eat it (look for unopened, original wrappers).
For homeowners:
1. Look out the window for suspicious behavior before answering the door.
2. Some adults like to trick or treat too, but be mindful of groups without any children. This could be a sign of adults with a hidden agenda.
3. Turn the TV volume down, and listen for noises around your home.
4. Keep all doors locked.
I hope you and your family have a safe Halloween!
