Treat yourself
to a safe, fun
Halloween
PARENTS: Be sure your child's cos
tume allows freedom of movement
and good visibility. It should be a light
^color or have reflective strips on it. If pos
sible, have children trick or treat before
dark. If you will not be with your children, insist
on an agreed route.
KIDS: Stay where you know people. Go only to
houses with lights on. Eat your treats ONLY after
your parents have checked them. Watch,
for cars. Tell your parents about any-,
thing that scares you or makes you feel
uncomfortable.
We offer these Halloween Safety
Tips for parents and children so
your holiday can be safe and fun.
