Keep Your Kids Safe in Albuquerque This Halloween

by Sandi Pressley

Halloween is almost here, and no doubt your kids have already picked out the costumes and making arrangements to get the most out of the holiday. But as a parent, of course you want to keep them safe as they go out into the streets. Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Here's a few reminders to keep your kids safe in Albuquerque this Halloween.

Costume Safety

  • All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant
  • Avoid masks, which can obstruct vision
  • If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags, or give them glow sticks
  • When buying Halloween makeup, make sure it is nontoxic and always test it in a small area first
  • Remove all makeup before children go to bed to prevent skin and eye irritation
When They're on the Prowl
When They're on the Prowl
  • A responsible adult should accompany young children on the neighborhood rounds
  • If your older children are going alone, plan and review a route acceptable to you
  • Agree on a specific time children should return home
  • Teach your children never to enter a stranger's home or car
  • Instruct children to travel only in familiar, well-lit areas and stick with their friends
  • Tell your children not to eat any treats until they return home
  • Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don't run, across the street
For Drivers
  • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs
  • Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully
  • At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing
  • Discourage new, inexperienced drivers from driving on Halloween
Make sure to stay safe this Halloween and make it a night of fond memories in Albuquerque!
