Halloween safety tips and haunted house fundraisers

Local haunted houses in Highland Indiana and Milwaukee raise funds for teen groups and charities while Detroit area youths host events. One Michigan boy, Stephen Gordon, is diabetic and cannot eat sweets, relying on insulin injections and donating candy to charity.
