Z107.7 NEWS OFFER HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR ON AND OFF THE ROAD

Kids love the magic of Halloween: Trick-or-treating, classroom parties聽and trips to a neighborhood haunted house. But for moms and dads, there is a fine line between Halloween fun and safety. The National Safety Council said darting or running into the road accounts for about 70 percent of pedestrian deaths or injuries for those ages 5 to 9 and about 47 percent of incidents for those 10 to 14. To help ensure Morongo Basin adults and children have a safe Halloween, Z107.7 News has a list of聽dos and don’ts on the trick-or-treat trail:

路聽A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on the neighborhood rounds.

路聽If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you.

路聽Agree on a specific time when children should return home.

路聽Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.

Children and adults are reminded put electronic devices down, keep your heads up and walk, don鈥檛 run, across streets.

 

For motorists:

路聽Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.

路聽Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.

路聽At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing.
Trick-or-Treating:

路聽Instruct your children to travel only in familiar, well-lit areas and avoid trick-or-treating alone.

路聽Tell your children not to eat any treats until they return home.

路聽Teach your children to never enter a stranger’s home.
Costumes:

路聽All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant.

路聽If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags to make sure they are visible.

路聽When buying Halloween makeup, make sure it is nontoxic and always test it in a small area first.

路聽Remove all makeup before children go to bed to prevent skin and eye irritation
