On Halloween night, a responsible adult should accompany young children during trick-or-treating. If your older children are going to be out on their own, you should go over the trick-or-treating route with them, so they that are prepared and you are aware of where they will be. Trick-or-treaters should always be equipped with bright clothing and flashlights with fresh batteries. It is also an excellent idea for trick-or-treaters to go in large groups. You should never go into a home or car that is offering treats if you come inside.
