Police say there are some
simple reminders to help Long Islanders stay safe on Halloween.
Drivers are being urged to
pay extra attention to the roads as trick-or-treaters will be out and about.
Police say children are four
times more likely to die in a traffic accident on Halloween night, compared
with the same time period all other nights of the year.
Police say if you or your
kids are going out, make sure everyone is wearing bright, reflective
clothing. Don't wear anything too long to help prevent tripping.
Also, remind your kids not to
talk to strangers or get into a stranger's car.
Parents should also establish
a route for children and remind them to never go inside a home to get candy.
