Halloween is an exciting time for children to dress up like their favorite characters and collect delicious, sweet treats. However, with rising crime statistics in Boston during Halloween night, attorney Dianna L. Abdala wants to help keep you and your family safe. Boston, Massachusetts, October 22, 2014 – Halloween is right around the corner, and your little goblins and ghouls are most likely getting ready and growing anxious for a night of trick-or- treating door-to-door to fill their Halloween bags with popular candies and treats. Razor blades in candy and poison apples may be well-known urban myths, but the threat or ordinary street crime during Halloween is very real.
“It’s been known that on the evening of October 31, violent crime is about 50 percent higher than other days during the year, however, this shouldn’t sway anyone from enjoying Halloween. It’s just more important to make an effort to be more aware and follow safety guidelines to ensure the safety of yourself and your family,” says attorney Dianna L. Abadala. Abdala, a criminal defense attorney in Boston offers the following safety tips to keep your family safe this Halloween.
- If your child is under 12 years old, it’s important that they have adult supervision. If a child is mature enough to be out without supervision, encourage them to stick to familiar areas or trick-or-treat in a group.
- When crossing or walking on streets, practice extra caution. The same applies if you are driving on the night of October 31st.
- Stay in well-lit and familiar areas.
- Never allow your children to enter a stranger’s house without you. Encourage children to only go as far as the front porch.
- If your children are old enough to be out alone, give them a curfew and make sure they stick to it.
- Vandalism is never okay! Inform your children of what can happen if they participate in such activities. Vandalism can lead to an arrest which is punishable by law, and can result in seeking out a criminal defense attorney in Boston like Abdala.
In the United States, Halloween is supposed to invoke images of costumes, candy, creepy decorations, and fun. Keep Halloween fun and safe by being proactive with the safety of your children. “Unfortunately, the rate of violent crimes seems to spike on Halloween, but following safety guidelines can ensure you don’t add to the statistics,” says Abdala. This Halloween, keep your family safe and enjoy the holiday like its intended.
