“Here’s a scary statistic: Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Lack of visibility because of low lighting at night also plays a factor in these incidents.  A responsible adult should accompany young children on the neighborhood round.  If your older children are going alone, plan and review a route acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time children should return home.  Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.  Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.  All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant.  If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags, or give them glow sticks.”
