HALLOWEEN SAFETY

NOT SO SWEET: Stories of Helen Pfeil, a Long Islander who gave arsenic to kids in ’64, stirred parents’ worries of tainted candy.

SOME DO'S AND DON'TS TO REMEMBER


Treats: Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of tampering.

Pedestrian Safety: Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. All children should WALK, not run from house to house and use the sidewalk if available, rather than walk in the street. Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clotheslines present dangers.

Safe Houses: Children should go only to homes where the residents are known and have outside lights on as a sign of welcome.
