Visibility an issue this Halloween season,
says Safe Kids of East Central Georgia
While safety is always a
concern for parents during
the Halloween season, visibil
ity is an even bigger concern
this year, said SAFE KIDS of
East Central Georgia, led by
the MCG Children’s Medical
Center.
“This year, Halloween falls
during Daylight Savings
Time,” said Rene Hopkins,
Coordinator of SAFE KIDS
of East Central - Georgia.
“Parents and trick-or-treaters
need to remember that it will
be darker earlier and plan
accordingly.”
Hopkins provided the fol
lowing tips to help your chil
dren stay safe and visible this
Halloween season:
. Accompany your chil
dren. For all ages, escort by a
parent or other adult is a
good idea. But children
under 12 should definitely
have a parent or other adult
with them at all times.
-Decorate costumes, bags
and sacks with reflective tape
or stickers.
Remember, a car traveling
at 60 mph needs 260 feet to
stop completely. Reflectors
make your children visible at
500 feet.
-Buy a costume in a light or
bright color to ensure better
visibility at night.
- Avoid masks as they can
impair a child’s vision. Make
up or nontoxic face paint is a
better alternative.
-Darting out into the street
is one of the most common
causes of pedestrian death
among children. Even if there
i adult supervision,” remind
your children to walk, not
run, and to stop and look
both ways before crossing. If
a car is in sight, they should
not cross. The excitement of
Halloween could cause them
to forget these basic traffic
rules.
-Ensure better visibility and
decrease the risk of falling by
providing trick-or-treaters
with flashlights.
- Attach contact informa
tion on children’s costumes in
case they get separated, and
make sure they know their
phone number. Provide older
children with a means of call
ing home.
Jlnstruct your children to
travel only in familiar areas
and on a pre-established
route. They should never
enter someone’s home. Also,
they should be wary of cut
ting across lawns or yards;
yard ornaments and unfamil
iar terrain make falling a haz
ard.
‘Those planning to stay
home and hand out candy
can do their part by ensuring
their lawns are free of hazards
and are well-lit.
- Set a time for them to
come home.
