What if, on a sunny, relaxed weekend, your child happily waved goodbye to you and said he or she was going to play with a classmate, then he or she might never come back? What should you do?

Yesterday at noon, I suddenly saw a search message in the circle of friends, which was sent by the mother of the child's classmate, and at 12:30 noon, after lunch, the sister who was in the second grade went out of the house to a garden in the community to participate in a classmate party. It is estimated that it is very urgent to play with the friends, did not wait for the mother to go together, but went out on her own, and then the mother went to the party place without seeing the child, could not find it in the vicinity, was anxious, panicked in the circle of friends and parent group to release information for help, and at the same time called the property and security to ask for help to find, and finally reported to the police. Many enthusiastic parents in our parent group who are resting at home see the information and come out to help find it together. Fortunately, after more than four hours had passed, the little girl was finally found in another small garden, and she was lost, unable to find a way to the meeting point or a way home, and could only wander around the neighborhood like a headless fly. Knowing the news that had been found, everyone's hearts were put back into their stomachs.
Our community belongs to a super-large community, with a total number of more than 50,000 households and a permanent population of more than 200,000. Although the entire community is closed management, but the community is divided into more than twenty different groups, there are many roads, in addition to a small number of inner streets, most of them are people and cars do not divert, many people, the road conditions and environment of the community are very complicated, for a child, going out alone, in fact, is not safe, even if it is only in the community, it is very likely to get lost, resulting in accidents and dangers.
Suddenly remembered that two days ago, I saw an article posted by a father on the headlines, when I went out with my family a few months ago, I was in the swimming pool of the hot spring hotel, because there were a few minutes to let the child out of his sight, and it took ten minutes to find his daughter who had drowned. After four months of treatment, her daughter's life was still not saved. Now the hotel has also filed a lawsuit against them for demanding the return of the previous advance payment for treatment.
Because of a momentary negligence that causes a child to have an accident, and even after the loss of a loved one, it is necessary to go through a long and difficult litigation lawsuit, and the pain and suffering that the father and his family need to endure can be imagined. However, even so, no matter how much grief, no matter how much hatred for the hotel's inaction and inhumanity, the child will not be able to come back, whether there is ultimately compensation or not, can not fill the endless pain in the heart.
Data show that about 59,000 people die from drowning in China every year, of which minors account for more than 95%, drowning, has become the "number one killer" of accidental death of minors! Drowning is only one of the accidents that occur, and there are also accidents such as traffic accidents, high-altitude falls, foreign bodies stuck in the throat, cuts, electric shocks and so on. Danger is everywhere, and data from the United Nations show that the number of accidental deaths of minors under the age of 14 in our country is 200,000 every year, and this number is increasing every year.
Every life grows rapidly in the early stages, they are curious, have a strong desire to explore, and are lively and active, but they lack knowledge, lack accurate cognition and judgment of complex roads and unfamiliar environments, weak self-protection awareness and ability, and low risk avoidance ability. As the guardian of minor children, it is the most basic responsibility of parents to take good care of their children and avoid accidents and dangers for children.
I remember that when I used to play with my children in parks or playgrounds, I often saw many parents who let their children play there by themselves, and adults either sat next to them and looked down at their mobile phones or chatted with others. What you don't know, however, is that children are extremely attracted to new and interesting things. Maybe, just in a casual moment, the child will leave your sight, and perhaps, the accident will happen. However, when the accident comes, no amount of remorse and self-blame can redeem his broken heart.
Accidents and dangers that lead to minors are mostly closely related to the guardian's weak awareness of safety protection, the indulgence of minors' misconduct, and the lack of minors' own safety awareness and lack of experience in social life.
Raising children is not easy, and finally, please keep in mind that:
Safety first, life first
The word "defense" comes first
Protect the safety of children's lives
Avoid accidents and stay away from danger!
