Halloween Pranks And Dangers

Pranks On Halloween

Years ago, kids would overturn the outhouses, and you were miserable if you were using them. Kids would exchange the neighbor’s gates, and everyone would wake up with a different entrance on their fences in the small towns years ago. Now pranks are not funny anymore as they damage buildings and hurt or kill animals or harm or hurt small children. I had noise makers when I went trick-or-treating as a child.

Treats

Years ago, kids would get homemade popcorn balls, cookies, apples, and other homemade goodies or change. Now kids get candy bars or an apple on occasion. You have to check apples to ensure no one put a razor blade in the apple that would harm your child today. Make sure the candy bar wrappers are sealed. Only let your kids trick or treat at people’s houses that you know, or other events deemed safe.

Damage To Animals And Homes Is Not Acceptable

I have seen many homes egged over the years, and it takes hours to get that off your siding, and you may have to repaint your home, also. Kids have shot pellets through windows on Halloween night. That happened to someone I knew that was in their nineties, and they had to get a loan to pay for a new picture window. Some people sacrificed poor defenseless animals on Halloween night.

Keep Your Black Cats In On Halloween

An older woman had her black cat out on her porch on Halloween night, and she heard a lot of noise, and several teenage boys had egged her poor cat to death. The poor woman was utterly heartbroken and crying uncontrollably as her cat was like a child. People will also sacrifice black cats on Halloween. A person is truly sick to harm or kill a defenseless pet.

Do Your Part To Make Halloween Safe And Fun For All

I once went to a haunted house for a Halloween outing in High School. It was fun and a little bit scary. Watch your kids always so they do not get hit by a car crossing the street in the dark on Halloween night. If you see someone vandalizing something, yell, scream, or call the police. Let’s make Halloween like it was years ago, where pranks or tricks did not damage property, pets, animals, or children. I hope you have a safe and happy Halloween with good memories for years.
