Step 1
Trick or treat at areas you are familiar with. Do not go to neighborhoods that you are not sure about and don't feel safe in. Being comfortable in your surroundings is part of the fun.

Step 2
Inspect the candy your children get. Make sure the candy is still in its original wrapper and is not opened or tampered with. If you suspect that the candy has been tampered with throw it away. Only take baked goods from people you know and trust. It's better to be safe than sorry.
