 Every year on October 31st, kids of all ages don costumes and take to the streets. Disguised as vampires, princesses and superheroes, small children will brave the night and knock on the doors of strangers to beg for candy. Big kids will dress as cowboys and kittens and dance the night away, consuming adult goods and beverages. For some, the night won't go as planned and authorities need your help. Join me. Perhaps you may be able to save a kid. If you're trick-or-treating, go as a group using designated sidewalks and crosswalks and obeying all traffic signals. Carry a flashlight or glow sticks and wear reflective clothing or shoes. Have an adult check your candy for any open or homemade goods. If you're driving during popular trick-or-treating hours, watch for increased pedestrian traffic, especially kids running across the street in the middle of the block. And if you're a big kid on this day, designate a sober driver and don't leave your drink unattended. Don't leave your friends behind and always make good choices. For every Halloween, there is someone somewhere who knows these tips. Perhaps that someone is watching. Perhaps that someone is you. Help me make sure every kid gets home safely, won't you?
