Tricks, Treats, and Halloween Safety Tips
Calling all fairy princesses, super-heroes, ghosts and gremlins – get ready to troll spooky neighborhoods and magical surroundings all on the quest for… GOODIES! Yum – I can almost taste the Snicker’s now.
Trick or treating is one of the great American traditions, and we can still enjoy a safe night out celebrating the Great Pumpkin… provided we use some common sense and give our kids some important safety guidelines before heading out. Maybe you’ll be accompanying your hobgoblins door to door this year, or perhaps you have older children venturing out on their own with friends. Here are some simple tips for the whole family. And remember: there is no trick to enjoying a safe and fun Halloween.
1. *Check your state’s Megan’s Law Sex Offender register. If there is an offender living in your neighborhood, be sure to skip that house. If you have older children who are out with their friends, be sure to tell them not to visit that home.
2. Visit only those houses where the lights are on.
3. Accept treats only in the doorway, NEVER go inside a house.
4. Parents should inspect all treats BEFORE eating anything.
5. Stay away from open flames or jack-o-lanterns with candles burning.
6. Cross the street only at corners and be sure not to hide between parked cars.
7. Carry a flashlight.
8. Wear brightly colored clothes, or use some reflective tape on your costume or bag.
9. Stay on the sidewalk, don’t walk in the street.
10. Pin a slip of paper with the child’s name, address and phone number to the inside of the costume or place in a pocket.
11. Do not eat any unwrapped, partially wrapped, or home-made looking treats.
12. Stay in the open, don’t take shortcuts through alleys or backyards.
To check the sex offender register in your area go to: US Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website and follow the prompts. Or check familywatchdog.us
Reminders for Parents:
- Make sure children’s costumes don’t drag on the ground.
- Use non-toxic, hypoallergenic make-up on faces.
- Be sure your child eats dinner or a good, healthy snack before going out.
- Store bought costumes should be made of a flame-retardant material.
For older children who may be trick or treating on their own:
- Never go out alone. Have at least 2 friends with you.
- Stay in familiar neighborhoods
- Never enter a home, accept treats at the doorway only.
- Be very cautious of any stranger who tries to join you.
- Carry a flashlight, a watch, and a cell phone if possible.
- Parents must still inspect any candy before you eat it.
- Plan your route ahead of time with your parents and STICK TO IT.
- Find a nearby store, restaurant, or another mom with kids if you feel scared or need help.

Heart And Soul: New Songs From Ally McBeal Featuring Vonda Shepard (Television Series) $2.59 It’s got to be a bit strange for Vonda Shepard. This is her album–she sings and writes the songs–and yet she takes second billing to the TV show that features her as the singer in the unnamed bar. Granted, Shepard had released many solo albums on her own before Ally made her a known commodity, and the songs here are geared to mirror Ms. McBeal’s many moods. Here, Shepard is helped out by an impr… |

Three Men and a Baby [VHS] $1.22 Not nearly as good as the original French comedy, Three Men and a Cradle, upon which this is based, Three Men and a Baby nevertheless is decent brain candy directed with some crackle by Leonard Nimoy. Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson star as three swinging bachelor roommates who find a baby girl on their doorstep–the daughter of Danson’s character (who doesn’t know about her) by a wo… |

Ally McBeal: Cro-Magnon/The Attitude [VHS] $3.96 “Cro-Magnon” (first season, episode 12) will be remembered by Ally McBeal fans as the “dancing baby” episode, in which Ally–woefully celibate and tortured by the ticking of her biological clock–envisions a strutting, diapered infant who haunts her at home and office. The little tyke’s appearance (accompanied by the “ooga-chocka” refrain from the 1970s hit “Hooked on a Feeling”) coincides with Al… |
