On April 22, a video of an "8-year-old boy being dragged madly by a horse" went viral, arousing the attention of netizens.
In the video, an 8-year-old boy has his ankle stuck in the stirrup, and the horse is scurrying around, which is a very thrilling scene.
What was the stimulus to the horses, why was there no one to take care of the children when they were riding, where were the parents?
The incident occurred in a scenic spot in Xingyang, Henan Province.
The terrain of the scenic spot is open and there is an endless stream of tourists, so a project of "horseback riding experience" was born.
The little boy in the video is just 8 years old, accompanied by his parents to the scenic spot, sees the horse experience project, and pesters his father to play.
The little boy was on horseback, and an old man led the horse (suspected to be the owner of the horseback riding experience), and at first he was slowly wandering.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened suddenly.
The horses didn't know if they were affected by the outside environment, or if they stepped on something under their feet, and suddenly they ran wildly.
The old man who led the horse couldn't hold it at all, and the horse ran out in an instant, with great force, and the little boy was also thrown off the horse.
If the little boy had been thrown directly into the grass, there might have been a chance of survival, but his foot got stuck in the stirrups and was dragged by the horse for hundreds of meters.
During this time, the horse ran wildly on the open grass, and the little boy's head was also rubbed wildly on the grass, and all the onlookers exclaimed.
After the horse was frightened, several adults followed after him, suspected to be a staff member and a parent of a child.
But the horse was running so fast that they couldn't stop it, so they watched the child being dragged away.
When the horse was running wildly, he stepped on the child's head several times, and his ankle was also twisted off, and the whole process was heart-wrenching.
The child was dragged for several minutes before the farm staff and onlookers stopped the horse, and when the child was rescued, he was already dying.
The onlookers quickly called the emergency number, and the child's parents hugged the child's body and cried bitterly, and everyone who saw it was distressed.
After the video was uploaded to the Internet, everyone was very concerned about the child's recent situation, and a reporter contacted the local police, who said that "the child is in first aid".
On the afternoon of April 21, everyone had been praying for the child with a glimmer of hope, but the child's injuries were too serious for the doctors to recover.
On April 22, a reporter contacted the child's father again, and the other party cried bitterly on the phone, saying that "the child died due to his injuries too serious."
After the video was exposed, the Internet was angrily accusing the child's parents of being irresponsible, and the words were very intense.
Although parents have responsibilities, who wants to face such an accident, now is not the time to blame each other.
The child is just 8 years old, the only son in the family, and the darling of the whole family, not only the father is sad, but the mother is even more emotionally broken, and she can't believe this fact.
At present, the local police have begun to investigate the matter.
What kind of stimulation did the horses in the scenic area suffer? Why did the tourists not wear proper protective gear during the horseback riding? Why did there be no professionals around, so they disregarded the safety of tourists?
All this needs the scenic spot to give tourists an explanation and give the children a justice.
A person familiar with the situation revealed, "It is two old people who are engaged in the horseback riding experience project, and it is estimated that the old capital is not enough to compensate."
Indeed, watching the video is led by an old man in black clothes, after the child was dragged away, an aunt wearing a cool hat also chased after him, and it is estimated that these two are the bosses.
At present, the two elderly people have been arrested by the local police.
Officials said that they were not operating legally, but only nearby villagers, who had no relevant qualifications at all, and had already taken criminal coercive measures.
This time, the 8-year-old boy was dragged by a horse and lost his life, in addition to the owner of the horse farm being responsible, the parents must also reflect on it, which is really careless.
I also hope that the boy's family can mourn, cheer up and live well, stride forward, and life will always see the sunshine.
