Halloween safety: Do not let cars
and kids go bump In the night
Special to the Journal
Children are four times
more likely to be hit by a
car on Halloween than any
other night of the year, and
SAFE KIDS of Houston
County reminds parents and
caregivers to make sure chil
dren going trick-or-treating
are walking safely and stay
ing visible to drivers.
“All the usual rules of
pedestrian safety still apply,”
explains Patsy Zoumberis,
RN, Health Educator for
Houston Healthcare’s
Community Education and
Services Department and
Coordinator of Houston
County’s SAFE KIDS
Coalition.
“Walk, don’t run. Cross
the street only at a cross
walk or corner, after looking
both ways, and never dart
out into the street.”
In addition, children

home to be inspected before consuming anything.
7. Look at the wrapping carefully and toss out anything that
looks suspect.

be accompanied by an
adult. “Naturally, kids will
be excited, and they’ll need
active supervision,” says
Zoumberis.
“Older kids who have dem
onstrated the maturity and
good judgment to go trick
or-treating with friends,
without adult supervision,
should stick to a predeter
mined route with good light
ing.” Costumes and bags
should be decorated with
retroreflective tape and, if
possible, made of light colors.
Kids can carry glow sticks or
flashlights to be more visible
to drivers.
■ Drivers can do their part
by being especially careful in
residential neighborhoods,”
cautions Zoumberis. “Slow
down and look for kids at
intersections, on medians
and on curbs.”
Other Halloween hazards
and precautions include:
■ Falls. Costumes should
r MRRWI
be short enough to avoid
tripping, and shoes and
headgear should fit prop
erly. Choose face paint and
makeup, because they do
not restrict vision as masks
do. Toy weapons and other
props should be flexible
so they do not present an
injury hazard if the child
falls. Do not let children cut
across yards, where stones,
lawn ornaments and other
hazards may be hard to see
in the dark. Keep your own
doorsteps and porch well lit.
■ Burns. Make sure store
bought costumes and acces
sories are labeled “flame
resistant,” and use flame
resistant material when
making costumes. Avoid
baggy, flimsy or billowing
costumes. Keep jack-o’-lan
terns that are lit with can
dles away from doorsteps
and walkways, and consider
using glow sticks instead of
candles.
