The Law Offices of Anthony Carbone wants everyone to stay safe this Halloween. Here are some tips to keep in mind before going out, from the National Safety Council:
For Trick-or-Treating
- Don’t go out alone! Make sure there’s an adult, especially for children under 12.
- Make sure your child stays in familiar neighborhoods that are well-lit.
- Choose a specific time your child should return.
- Give your child a flashlight or glow sticks so they are visible in the dark
- Be careful in the streets! Follow all traffic safety rules and don’t run.
- Check your child’s treats before letting them eat anything. If there is something suspicious, throw it out.
For Drivers
- Keep close attention when driving through neighborhoods. Watch for any children darting out between parked cars.
- Be careful when leaving driveways or alleys. Make sure no one is walking by as you are pulling out
- Prevent teens from driving tonight. There’s too many distractions out on the road for drivers less experienced.
- Keep an eye out for children in dark clothing
- And no distractions! Put away the cell phone.
Here’s hoping everyone has a great Halloween with a lot of treats and not that many tricks. If you get into legal trouble, then give us a call. We’ll help you in your time of need.
