“What I actually miss is kinda the whole suspense about seeing different costumes and also the community-building with my neighbors, who I didn’t see on a regular basis”, said Hannah Brewer-Jensen, a senior.
Parents should also take precautions when it comes to their children’s Halloween garb, Burstein said.
First, adults who are attending parties we would remind you to use a designated driver.
They should make sure a responsible adult or guardian is with them.
Property crime increases by 24 percent on Halloween night, according to reports released by Travelers Insurance, which tracks thefts by the number of claims filed on Halloween night. Dark, unlighted houses should be avoided.
Parents should supervise younger children. Older children should always travel in groups.
“It kind of brings some normalcy in their environment which is different from normal, but it’s our normal, and it makes a lot of fun for not only the parents, but the kids too I’m sure”, said Renalda Walker.
“You can actually set speed alerts for the different child gets into a auto and the speakers over what you said you can receive those notifications letting them know where the child is and how fast they’re traveling”, said Stuck.
Monitoring the amount of candy your children eat is also important, the county’s top health expert said.
Children should be encouraged to call only on their friends.
– Inspect all candy before allowing your children to eat it. Toss out anything that looks suspicious, is unwrapped, or appears to have been tampered with. And teach them that they should make every effort to get away by kicking, screaming and resisting.
