- Go with parents. Never go into a stranger's house, or even ring their doorbell, unless an adult is with you.
- Look both ways and take hands when crossing the street.
- Have parents inspect candy before you eat it.
- Bring a flashlight and go with a group.
- For older trick-or-treaters, if your parents set a curfew, meet it. It's a good way to build trust.
