Family Halloween Safety Tips

U.S. News and World Report tips parents should keep in mind for Halloween:
* Accompany your children when they go trick-or-treating.
* Examine all candy before letting your children eat it.
* Have your children discard any unwrapped foods.
* Make sure your children's costumes are non-flammable and short enough so that they don't trip.
* Make sure the eye holes in masks are the right size and in the right place for clear vision.
* If your children are old enough to trick-or-treat without a parent, have them go in groups.
* At night, make sure your children wear costumes that are bright in color, or have them wear reflectors.
* If the streets are dark, have your children take a flashlight.
* Accompany your children in apartment buildings.
* Have your children use proper street-crossing safety.
* Do not allow your children to enter a stranger's home; have them ask for treats and wait outside the door.
* Limit trick-or-treating to familiar neighborhoods and neighbors.
