Highway One North Palm Beach, FL 33408 J"~ HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS `'iY~ Do not allow a child to go "Trick or Treating" alone. An adult should accom- pany young children and older children should take a friend. > Be certain to accompany young children to the door of every house they ap- > proach. Do not stay in the car. Make sure that parents are familiar with every house and all people from which the children receive treats. Children should be cautioned that they SHOULD NEVER enter any home without prior permission from their parents. Children should be cautioned NEVER to approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless they are accompanied by a par- ent. Make sure that all children carry a flashlight and/or wear reflective clothing. (Reflective tape and striping can be added to a costume or Trick or Treat bag for increased visibility). When using facial masks, make sure that children can see properly. All costumes and masks should be flame resistant. Children should be warned NEVER to approach any house that is not well lit and does not have a porch or "outside" light on. Children should be cautioned to remember any suspicious incidents and report them to their parents and/or the police. Children should be cautioned to run away from people who try to trick them with special treats (especially if the person is in a vehicle). Children should be instructed to scream and make a scene if anyone tries to grab them or force them, in any way, to go with them. Parents should inspect all treats prior to children consuming them and dispose of anything that seems to have been tam- pered with, has been opened, or is not wrapped. A great alternative to "Trick or Treating" is for parents to organize parties at home, in schools, at a shopping mall, com- munity center or places of worship. Check your local newspapers for information on special events.
