Most children love halloween. Dressing up and trick or treating can be lots of fun, however, child fatalities are four times higher on halloween than any other night of the year. Other injuries, such as broken bones, bruises, scrapes and scratches are also higher on halloween. Tips for Children Use flashlights and go to only well-lit homes to prevent tripping or stumbling over objects that are not visible in the dark. Only cross the street at street corners and remember to look left then right then left again before crossing. Travel in a group and make sure you're accompanied by an adult. Carry enough change to make a phone call and have your name and phone number in your pocket or trick or treat bag. Have a parent inspect all of your candy before eating it. Ensure masks have large eye holes so vision is not impaired. Tips for Adults Supervise children under 13 while they trick or treat. Establish curfews so children know when they are expected home. Clear your yard, porch and side walk of everything that may impede trick or treaters and try to ensure that these areas are well lit. Inspect all of your children's candy when they get home. Drive slowly and take extra care when leaving driveways and alleyways. Ensure all jack-o-laterns are placed away from flamable objects and are not left unattended.
