Today (31st), LAPD introduced ‘trick or treat’ safety rules for both children and parents.
- Trick or treat should be done in the daytime if feasible
- Children should never be walking around alone
- Never go into a stranger’s house nor call children into the house
- Never get on a stranger’s car
- Never let children be at a location where there is no light
- Select the time range for children to stay outside and clearly make sure they come back home by the time
- Never leave a house empty
- Place pets at a safe location
- Parents need to clearly know which roads children use
- Halloween costumes for children should be non-flammable
- Wigs and Masks should be non-flammable and should not block children’s sight
- Never walk around with a toy gun that looks too realistic
- Children should only use sidewalks
- When children cross intersections, they need to pay attention to the surroundings
