Halloween Safety, Stranger Danger!

Halloween is an exciting time for children and families, but it's important to prioritize safety, especially when it comes to interacting with strangers. Here are some tips for staying safe on Halloween, particularly with regard to "stranger danger"
Before heading out, discuss the rules with your children. Teach them not to enter a stranger's home, car, or accept any rides or items from strangers.
Encourage children to go trick-or-treating in groups or with friends. There's safety in numbers.
Plan your trick-or-treating route in advance. Stick to well-lit neighborhoods and avoid areas that are less familiar.
Always stay in well-lit areas, and avoid shortcuts through dark alleys or vacant lots.
