MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Looking for Halloween fun across the Grand Strand and Pee Dee?
Before heading out, review these safety tips for parents, trick-or-treaters and drivers.
- Make sure children are accompanied by a responsible adult, especially after dark.
- Choose costumes that fit properly and allow children to see and move easily.
- Consider face paint or makeup instead of masks that can block vision.
- Add reflective tape, glow sticks or bright colors to costumes so children are easier for drivers to see.
- Carry flashlights or wear glow bracelets while walking through neighborhoods.
- Use sidewalks whenever possible and cross streets at marked crosswalks or intersections.
- Stay alert near driveways, parked cars and busy roads.
- Visit homes with the porch light on and respect homes that are not participating.
- Check treats for damaged, open or unusual packaging before children eat them.
- Keep children from eating too much candy at once.
- Drivers should slow down, stay focused and watch carefully for children in or near the roadway.
- Use battery-powered lights instead of open flames in pumpkins and outdoor decorations.
- Make sure costumes and decorations are kept away from candles, heaters and other heat sources.
- Remind children never to enter a stranger’s vehicle or home.
