Hello everyone, I'm Themi's mother~
As a mother, don't say that your child was abducted, but whenever you think of it, you feel cold in your back.
But what is hateful and powerless is that in this world, abductions still occur, and those traffickers have begun to use more "advanced criminal methods" to achieve their goals, which makes people defenseless.
Not long ago, there was a child in the Chongqing High-tech Zone who was lost and abducted in the community, fortunately, through everyone's joint efforts, the child was finally found, and the criminals were also punished as they should be.
However, what makes people feel cold is that when the child is found, the clothes he wears have been changed and his hair has been cut, and if it is not for the concerted efforts of everyone, the consequences are really unimaginable.
According to the relevant data:
At present, the largest public welfare family search platform, more than 50,000 people have registered to find relatives, but only more than 3,000 people have been found by their own parents, and more than 50,000 children have not been heard.
So these numbers undoubtedly sound the alarm for us as parents, for those rampant criminals, we should always be vigilant and protect our children.
When it comes to protecting children, we should understand what kind of means these criminals will use, only in this way can we maximize the risk avoidance.
01. What are the "tricks" commonly used by human traffickers
Jiangxi originally carried out a simulated anti-abduction test, and they chose 5 places such as kindergartens, primary schools, supermarkets, railway stations, and parks.
Attract children's attention through the tricks commonly used by traffickers, conduct mock tests, and the end result is that only 8 of the 50 children aged 3-10 are not abducted!
So this also tells us how important it is for us to understand the deception of human traffickers, and only by understanding can we prevent problems before they occur.
The first: one steals and two steals
Stealing and robbing are commonly used by traffickers, and this method is generally aimed at children who are alone.
Because there is no supervision by parents and relatives, once they are targeted by human traffickers, they will steal or rob their children in the shortest possible time.
The second kind: three deceptions and four performances
For some defensive children, the deception of human traffickers will often take a more advanced approach, such as seducing children.
The way to seduce is usually carried out through impersonating acquaintances or material seduction, such as: "I am your father's friend", or giving children some snacks and toys to achieve the goal.
In addition, today's traffickers generally use gang crimes, and when they target a child, they sometimes use "acting" to achieve their goals.
For example, even if the child is accompanied by relatives, sometimes the family may be a little inattentive, and the trafficker will seize the opportunity, and then in full view of the public, the trafficker will hit a rake, saying that he is the child's relative, and the relatives who frame the child are the traffickers.
In general, in this case, the traffickers are gangs, and someone responds, creates chaos, and then takes advantage of the chaos to take away the children.
So we have to understand these means so that we can be vigilant, but also have solutions to the problem, in case it is needed, although everyone does not want this to happen to their children.
02. How can these scams be prevented?
First of all, we try not to take our children to crowded places.
For example, shopping malls, parks, playgrounds, supermarkets, stations, large-scale party scenes, these six places are high-risk places for children to get lost, if you want to take your children to go, you must pay attention to the surrounding environment, always be cautious. Minimizes hazards.
Secondly, be sure to look after your children.
Looking after children has high requirements for our parents, such as not looking down at the mobile phone, holding the child's hand, not letting the child out of sight, ensuring that the surrounding situation is controllable, and so on.
In addition, for the elderly with children of the family, but also to ensure that there is no mistake, such as reminding the elderly to bring a mobile phone, contact at any time, in addition, meet acquaintances or strangers, do not talk too much, attention must focus on the child.
Finally, it is necessary to enhance the child's safety awareness.
We must understand that although we are always by our child's side, there will be omissions, not to mention that as children grow, we cannot stare at them all the time.
In this case, it is very necessary to give children a strong sense of safety education.
Generally speaking, children should memorize useful information such as home phone numbers, parents' names, home addresses, etc., and secondly, they must teach children to learn to ask for help when they are taken away by people who are not parents.
In addition, it is also necessary to remind and teach children to identify uniforms and police uniforms, and ask for help at the first time to get rescue.
Of course, these may be to some extent, are relatively dry and difficult to remember things, in addition to the day after day to input this knowledge to the child, we should also let the child have a certain ability to save themselves and the ability to identify human traffickers.
03. Self-protection, starting from the doll
No matter how tightly parents supervise, we will always have omissions, so letting children learn to protect themselves is the top priority to cut off the source of danger.
As we all know, children's understanding of things is different from that of us adults, and how to better instill self-protection and anti-abduction thinking into children is a problem that we must think about.
Take me, when my two children are about two years old, I will accompany my children to read some anti-abduction and self-protection picture books.
Through parent-child co-reading, bedtime stories, children's own reading and other methods, instilled some self-protection methods in children, so that children can master some self-protection skills in stories.
Our two children read the picture book "Anti-Abduction and Self-Protection", which has a total of 6 volumes and contains various sections.
For example, "No! I don't go with strangers, no! I don't like to be touched by you" and so on.
This set of books uses the method of drawing stories to help children establish correct ideas, have the courage to express themselves, and keep children away from harm.
In addition, this set of books can help children better establish a good sense of prevention and enhance their resilience.
And every little story in the book is expressed with colorful pictures, corresponding to every situation in reality, which can not only cultivate children's interest in reading, but more importantly, let children understand, understand and remember.
Although we all don't want danger to happen, but being prepared and preparing for the rain is not the greatest protection for children? Isn't that the best way to stay out of danger?
Therefore, for the safety of children, no matter what, we should prepare a set for children.
Mother Themi's message:
Although human traffickers are full of tricks, if we as parents can raise our vigilance, not be indifferent, not ignore, and instill the awareness and methods of self-protection from the child's childhood, then we will be able to maximize the maximum extent and let the child grow up safely and safely.
Finally, I would like to say that in the face of cunning human traffickers, it is not enough to rely on the strict supervision of parents, and the child's self-protection ability is the top priority.
If you want to do self-protection, it is not difficult, a set of books can make children form a sense of self-protection, and minimize the danger.
