Make sure they are carrying identification so parents are quickly notified in the event of an accident. · Start visiting homes in the early evening and don't stay out too late. · Make sure children are appropriately dressed for inclement weather and return home immediately in the event of lightning or other dangerous conditions. · Caution youngsters never to enter the home of strangers or people they don't know well under any circumstances. · Inspecct all candy before youths are allowed to eat it and discard homemade treats or unwrapped or partlyunwrapped items. Don't take any chances. · Motorists must drive with care at all times, but it' s particularly important at Halloween when children might forget safety rules.
