No, not because of Ghosts, Goblins, and Ghouls, but because of unsafe practices by parents or children. Parents should accompany younger children on their Halloween rounds. The parents should carry a flashlight, and only bring the children to homes in your own neighborhood, or to friend's homes. All costumes should have some light color or reflective material sewn onto them. Parents should check the bottom of any costumes to ensure that the children will not trip on overly long costumes and to make sure that there is plenty of leg room in a costume for a child to be able to walk properly.
Face masks can be very dangerous.
If a mask has to be worn, parents should enlarge the eye holes to ensure the child has all peripheral vision. If possible, masks should not be worn. Parents should encourage the use of face paint and make-up in place of a mask. When trick or treating, visit homes on the left side of the street until you come to a designated stopping point. The street can then be safely crossed, looking for traffic, and the other side of the street can be visited.
