A few important things to know about child safety on Halloween are:Don't let them eat any candy or food that isn't already wrapped by a company, appears unwrapped, or was not wrapped at all eg. candy apples, soft pretzels, etc.If your child is allergic to anything, carefully read the labels on each piece of candy that you are unfamiliar with.Don't let your children go trick-or-treating after your town's curfew.Always carry a flashlight. You don't want your kids running off in the dark.Don't let them out trick-or-treating without a responsible older person to watch them.Be careful when crossing streets or intersections.Be sure their costume has a glow stick, bright color, reflective tape, or other means of allowing them to be seen by drivers.Watch for loose animals, such as dogs, and avoid them.Don't go to houses that do not look welcoming.Never enter a house of someone you do not know very well.If possible, carry a cell phone, two way radio, or other means of communication.The larger your group, the better.
