HALLOWEEN Safety Tips THE TRICK TO A SAFE TREAT By Jeremy S. Baker, MD There is nothing more delightful than opening up your door to children dressed up for Halloween saying “Trick-or-Treat”. Whether it is a girl in her plump pumpkin costume, or a boy in his Sponge Bob costume, it is wonderful to watch children proudly showing off their favorite character. This tradition was something I always looked forward to as a child. I think we all remember our first Halloween costume. With the resurrection and popularity of Spiderman, I am having flashbacks to my first costume when I would walk around pretending to shoot spider webs on unsuspecting friends. While Halloween can be fun for the whole family, children and parents should pause to think about having a safe evening as well. Trick-or-treating in the neighborhood is a tradition for many families, which makes practicing street safety a priority on this holiday. Recent studies have indicated that compared to other nights, pedestrian fatalities are 4 times more likely on Halloween. While this statistic is somewhat disturbing, there is no reason to panic as a parent. The key to having a safe Halloween is preparation. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR FAMILY TO ENSURE A SAFE AND FUN HALLOWEEN. FOR PARENTS: • Investigate safe places such as a sponsored event at a mall, school, church or neighborhood event • Accompany young children on the route • Send older children out with friends, a watch, and a flashlight • Agree to a route and expected arrival time prior to departure • Always check your children’s treats prior to consumption FOR CHILDREN: • Wear light-colored clothing or costumes • Start early and end early • Use sidewalks or walk facing traffic • Use make-up instead of a mask for better visibility • Carry a flashlight or light stick • Stop only at well-lighted houses • Always keep a safe distance between you and moving vehicles • Avoid busy intersections • Stop, look, and listen at corners or before crossing the street. Walk, don’t run • Never go inside a stranger’s house or apartment, no matter what anyone says • Don’t carry sharp instruments and never carry a lighted candle or open flame • Have a parent check the treats before you eat them My hope is that you and your family will have a safe and fun filled Halloween. If everyone does their part, the only thing to be scared about are those ghosts and goblins walking the streets! TRICK-OR-TREAT www.<strong>380Guide</strong>.com No. 20
