Although it sounds painful, there is no way to refute it, because the incidents of children accidentally falling from the building really happen frequently and have never stopped.

When my mother came back from going out, she saw the crowd gathering in the community, and she knew that her child had an accident.

According to previous media reports, in just 10 days, there were 12 incidents of children accidentally falling from buildings, and 7 children unfortunately died.

Such data is heart-wrenching.
It is no exaggeration to say that fall injuries are the number one "killer" of children's growth.
According to the Global Child Safety Group, 61.2% of unintentional injuries occur at home.
At home, the main injuries that occur frequently in children are: falls/falls account for 25%, burns/electrical injuries account for 16.7%, sharp injuries 9.1%, drowning 5%, poisoning 2.6%, etc.
What age group is most likely to suffer from fall injuries?
2~6 years old!Among them, 4~6 years old children are the most likely to have accidents.
Among the many falling incidents, some doctors have sorted them out, and the doctors said that the tragedies that happened to these children all have three things in common:
First: the guardian is not well supervised
If you look at the example above, either the child is left alone with the child, or the parent is doing something else at the time of the incident.
In fact, as long as parents give 100% protection, all accidental falls can be avoided.
And the price to pay for a momentary negligence is very heavy.
Second: There are no safety guardrails on the doors and windows of the home
The window escape door is not locked, the height of the balcony fence is not enough, or even there is no fence, and the balcony is stacked with debris and children climb along the fence, these are all potential safety hazards at home.
And the balcony, the window, is the main place of the fall.
In all the falling incidents, it is basically from a high-rise with no protective measures.
Third: children are lively and active, and there is no sense of danger
In most of the fall incidents, the children are mostly under the age of 6, because young children are lightheaded, have weak balance, and are prone to fall and fall.
In addition, children are lively, curious about the outside world, and have no sense of safety, so it is easy to put themselves in danger.
Parents, falling from high-rise buildings is an injury that children cannot bear, please be sure to prevent it!
③
100% of falls are preventable
3 steps to protect your child!
Such tragedies can be avoided by taking good precautions and fulfilling the responsibility of guardianship.
From now on, parents must do the following:
First: the anti-theft net should be installed correctly
●Anti-theft window security door to ensure locked state. The security door on the anti-theft window is an emergency escape port that opens outward, usually locked, and can be easily opened when encountering danger, or directly dismantle the device, to facilitate escape and rescue, to ensure that the security door is locked in a good state, to check regularly, but whether there is indeed old and loose.
● It is best to choose a vertical window for protective windows. The horizontal fence and protective window will climb up the baby, and the vertical protective window can prevent the baby from climbing and reduce the danger.
●The interval between railings should be less than 10cm. Increasing window protection can reduce the number of child window falls by 50 to 90 percent.
Therefore, the best way to prevent children from falling from the building is to be sure to install protective fences in bay windows, balconies, etc.! Note that the height of the protective fence should not be less than 1.1 meters, and the interval should be less than 8~10 cm. Otherwise, the baby is still in danger of falling and getting stuck.
Second: give 100% protection to your children
Protecting your child is the first step in preventing all accidental injuries, and at any time, don't leave your child alone at home, even for a minute, whether it's going downstairs to pick up a courier or buy a grocery, please bring your child.
When taking care of young children, don't be distracted and look less at your phone, in June 2019, a mother in the United States almost fell from the railing because of looking at her phone, which is as thrilling as a Hollywood blockbuster.
Third: do not put any furniture on the side of the window balcony
Stools, tables, cribs, and sundries should not be piled up by the balcony window, children can climb down to get to where they want to go, so be sure not to put any sundries next to the balcony window, and pay attention to the toilet, the toilet is usually next to the window, in order to prevent children from climbing up the toilet, take protective measures.
Fourth: Teach children to stay away from windows
Safety education is essential, as long as the baby can understand the words of adults, it is necessary to tell them not to lie on the windowsill, do not climb the balcony, do not make trouble next to the windowsill, tell the children the danger of things, and at the same time the children watch the animation program should also be well selected, dangerous actions must not be imitated at will.
Finally, the pregnant mother emphasized that the child must not be left alone at home at any time, and must regularly check whether the windows are locked.
The safety of children can only be guarded by parents!
