Halloween Safety Tips
The Massachusetts Department of Fire Services have issued the following safety tips for Halloween.
-Smaller children should always be with an adult. It's best to take little ones out early. If older children are going out without you, go over the ground rules first.
-Know what neighborhoods they will be in.
-Don't all them in areas with which you are not completely comfortable.
-Have the children stay in a group.
-Let them know what time to be home.
-Give them a cell phone to use if necessary.
-Use sidewalks.
-Cross only at the corners, never dart out between parked cars.
-Cover one side of the street at a time, no criss-crossing.
-Never go inside someone's house unless it is a friend's.
-Never accept a ride in a car.
-Only approach houses where the outside lights are on as a signal of welcome.
-Bring their bags at home to be checked by an adult before eating a single treat.
