According to Beijing Youth Daily, on February 8, a pair of siblings in Donghezhao Village, Hezhao Town, Wei County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, disappeared at the doorstep of their homes, and by noon on February 9, the bodies of the two children were found in a puddle in the village and had drowned.
It is reported that the two children, one 9 years old, one 6 years old, the father of the child before the disappearance was cooking at home, the child went out to play, and the child disappeared after making a meal.
The pit where the child's body was found, the villagers said that the water depth was about 5-6 meters, and it had frozen in winter, and now the weather is warm and the ice has melted. The specific situation is currently under investigation by the police.
The drowning of a child is a very sad thing, but the problem is not only the child who has lost his life, but also the parents who neglect management.
I happen to live in the Xingtai area, the local schools every holiday to send children and parents to prevent drowning leaflets, and ask parents to sign, the various precautions in it are written in a lot of detail, but ask yourself, not to say that you have seen it carefully, how many parents have really seen it?
Children's holiday safety education is not a trivial matter, Hebei side, Xingtai side, the water network is not rich, which also makes many adults ignore those water holes and ditches. Behind every tragedy is the lack of management of irresponsible parents.
To be honest, few children can control the desire to play by the water's edge, but how to play, how to play, need parental supervision and guidance. What is afraid is not that the child goes to the water's edge to play, but the fear is that the child goes to the water's edge, the player does not know at all, and the parents do not care at all. Hit a few water rafts and throw a few stones at the water's edge, and it doesn't hurt. But if you swim in the water and play with the ice, the danger increases. At this time, adult guidance or prevention is needed.
In Xingtai, Hebei Province, people who can swim, not to mention children, adults are not particularly many, because the river channel on this side is relatively small, through the Xingtai Wei County river is relatively large, that is, the Old Sha River and Qingliang River, and there are several other water channels, these waters are actually not suitable for swimming, because after treatment, most of them belong to the kind of flat-bottomed river that is excavated, but there are a lot of reeds and weeds around (don't ask me how to know, I occasionally go fishing in Wei County), and the underwater environment is still more complicated. Even so, parents can not rest assured that their children go to the water's edge to play, who can think that the puddle can also take the child's life.
Some netizens said that the responsibility for this accident still lies with the parents, even if the 6-year-old child has a sister to carry, can not get rid of their own management, a mistake into thousands of ancient hatred, and then look back on the hundred years of life.
Drowning prevention this thing, really "safety first, prevention first", to be honest, I will occasionally take my children to the river fishing, and when I started to take him to the river, the child was about 8-9 years old, but fishing to fishing, taking children is a more important thing, I will "control" him by his side, while warning him, can not go to the water's edge to play, or under my supervision to go to the water's edge to play. The helpless thing is that maybe I was too strict with him, my children didn't like water too much, especially the river, probably because I was too bored fishing for him, but at least he wouldn't run to the river himself.
Although water is the source of life, the underwater situation is too complicated, not to mention that children cannot control it, and adults cannot control it, especially in some villages due to sand pits and kilns formed by digging sand and digging soil and burning kilns, which are extremely dangerous.
I hope that parents can see this article as a warning, do not let the child out of their own regulatory line of sight, whether it is the water's edge, the river, or the road, should take care of the child under their own wings.
