Scarsdale Action for Youth Shares Tips for a Safe HalloweenThe Village of Scarsdale is sharing this message from Scarsdale Action for Youth (SAY), which works to promote the health and safety of local teens: “Halloweekend” has become associated with underage drinking and drug use among some youth. With Halloween falling on a Friday, SAY encourages parents to: Talk with teens about their plans and the risks of alcohol and drug use. Supervise gatherings—under New York’s Social Host Law, homeowners can be held liable for underage drinking or drug use on their property. Keep communication open so teens know they can call for help without consequence.
SAY reminds families that underage drinking and drug use are not harmless “rites of passage.” Early alcohol use increases the risk of addiction and other serious problems later in life. For more tips, visit sayscarsdale.org/post/halloweekend. |
