Kids should use the
buddy system when trick -
or -treating this Halloween
To the editor,
Statistically, Halloween evening presents a higher risk to children, so it's
important that parents and guardians talk to their children about safe
practices to reduce their chance of being harmed. To assist with this, the
Canadian Centre for Child Protection has developed Billy Brings His Bud-
dies Halloween Game - an online game to help teach children the Buddy
System. Learning this valuable safety habit in a fun and interactive way
is an important step towards reducing children's vulnerability to victim-
ization this Halloween. To access the game, Halloween safety tips and
other child personal safety resources, please visit www billybuddy.ca.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!
