A 10-year-old girl almost died. Don\’t wear this on your children in winter…

Today, I saw a scary piece of news on the Internet. On the afternoon of January 24th, Uncle Ning, a man in his 60s from Hangzhou, rode a scooter to pick up his 10-year-old granddaughter home. When he was about to get home, a thrilling scene happened: According to the old man\’s recollection, his granddaughter suddenly called \”Grandpa\” and realized that the tone was wrong. Finally, he looked back while braking. At this time, the scarf around the little girl\’s neck had become entangled in the wheel of the battery car, and her head was almost reaching the tire. Her face was dark black and she had difficulty breathing. Fortunately, passers-by came to help in time and rescued the little girl. They also called 120 and sent the child to a nearby hospital in time. The doctor diagnosed the little girl as having traumatic asphyxia. If the suffocation lasts too long, intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral edema will occur. If severe, intracranial hematoma will cause hemiplegia and coma. This news really makes people break into cold sweats. Fortunately, the little girl was treated in time and a tragedy was avoided. In fact, in recent years, accidents caused by disturbed scarves have been reported frequently in the press. In November 2015, when an 8-year-old girl was riding in her mother\’s electric car in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, both ends of the long silk scarf the child was wearing were twisted into the rear wheel, and her neck was strangled tightly on the tooth plate, making her unable to move. Within two or three minutes, the child\’s face began to turn blue and her tongue stretched out. The situation was very critical. When a passerby saw this, he cut the silk scarf with a fruit knife. The little girl was separated from the car and was rescued after artificial respiration. I have this experience myself. When I was in high school, I was riding a classmate\’s bicycle, and my long scarf got tangled in the rear wheel, causing both of us to fall hard. Fortunately, the speed of the car was not very fast at the time, and I found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The program \”Curiosity Lab\” once conducted an experiment that simulated the moment when a scarf got tangled while riding an electric bicycle. After deduction, the following conclusion was drawn: If an electric car is traveling at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the moment the scarf is entangled in the wheel, the equivalent of a weight of 200 kilograms is directly hit on the neck. The person may be strangled immediately and so tightly that even if someone helps, it may not be possible to pull him out. Some professionals once said that every winter, there are accidents caused by long scarves getting caught in wheels or machines. A sudden strong pull on the neck can not only easily damage the cervical vertebrae and carotid arteries, but if the carotid sinus is compressed, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and cardiac arrest. In more serious cases, it can lead to death from suffocation. In order to prevent scarves from killing you, you should really be careful about wearing long scarves. In particular, try not to wear long scarves on your children. If you wear it, wrap it around a few times and tuck the end of the scarf into your clothes. In fact, not only scarves, but also hoodies can also bring safety risks. First, wearing a hood will block your vision; second, the straps on the hood can easily get stuck, especially for children, which is as dangerous as a long scarf. When we prepare our children for the cold winter months, we must be wary of the murderous intent hidden in these measures to keep them warm. Never ignore your child\’s safety just to keep warm. Especially as the New Year approaches, we must take safety precautions to let our children have a safe New Year. Let’s take stock of this winter.What other safety hazards are hidden around children in the world? Potential safety hazard 1: Heating equipment For families without heating, small suns, electric blankets, hot water bottles, baby warmers, etc. have become the first choice products for family heating in winter. However, these heart-warming and body-warming heating equipment can become \”bombs\” around children if they are not careful, and may harm their personal safety at any time. Every year, a series of safety accidents occur due to improper use of heating equipment. On the evening of January 7, Ms. Luo\’s 6-year-old child from a village in Jiangdong Street, Yiwu was scalded by a hot water bottle. After a doctor\’s examination, the child suffered a second-degree low-temperature burn. Although the area was small, the burn was deep and required several months of treatment. time. On March 19, 2015, Ms. Zhang’s two-month-old child in Xi’an was scalded when a hot water bottle burst. The burn area was about 20%. Electric heaters cause even more serious harm to people, and if used improperly, they can also be life-threatening. A parent in Huai\’an, Jiangsu Province, was afraid that his child would be cold, so he used an electric blanket on his baby, which caused his lips to become dry and his skin to become red. He suffered from \”dehydration fever\” and was rushed to Huai\’an Maternal and Child Health Hospital for treatment. At that time, the director of pediatrics said that because electric blankets are relatively hot, they can easily lead to dehydration in children. If water is not replenished in time, dehydration may induce a series of risks. At the same time, dryness of the mucous membranes of the airways may lead to some respiratory infections, such as colds, bronchitis, and in severe cases, pneumonia. The temperature of this kind of baby warmer can reach over 60 degrees for several hours. For hyperactive children, if they are not careful, they will directly contact the skin and cause burns. In some places, the traditional heating method, coal stove heating, is still retained in winter. Not long ago, there was a video on the Internet about a villager\’s home in Ankang City. Three children, a sister and a brother, all died of carbon monoxide poisoning due to the use of anthracite coal for heating. Safety hazard 2: Traffic safety Do not let children sit in safety seats wearing down jackets. Someone has done such an experiment: when a remote-controlled car hits a wall, a baby dummy wearing a down jacket is easily thrown out of the seat. As the speed of the remote control car increased, the baby dummy finally slipped out of the down jacket under the strong impact force. Therefore, experts remind us that before taking your child to sit in a safety seat, you must do the following checks: Before your child sits in a safety seat in winter, you should check whether the fabric of the clothes is smooth and whether the filling of the clothes is fluffy. Once the child wears a fluffy and smooth coat, parents must take off the clothes first, fasten the child\’s seat belt, and then cover the child with the down jacket. When traveling with children, you must keep them within your sight. Not long ago, a traffic accident occurred in Liuzhou City: a 4-year-old boy suddenly ran from the roadside and ran towards the busy motorway. A normally traveling off-road vehicle was unable to get out of the way. The child The boy was swept under the car. Fortunately, passers-by worked together to lift the car and rescued the little boy from under the car. Similarly, in Zhangjiajie, a driver ran over a child playing alone while reversing. In fact, parents are responsible for both accidents. As the child\’s guardian, ensure that the childDon\’t run around in public places. This is not only a way to protect your own children, but also a way to be responsible for the safety of others. Safety hazard three: Playing on ice In winter, children must be warned: Do not play on the ice early. On January 14, several children were playing next to a viewing lake in a community in Changfeng, Anhui. Despite safety warning signs on the edge of the lake, the children ran into the middle of the lake, where an accident occurred and one child fell into the freezing water. Fortunately, a young man passed by at the time and rescued the child. Coincidentally, on January 13, a teenager in Heze, Shandong Province, fell into an ice cave when the ice broke while playing on the ice. He was finally rescued by a kind-hearted person passing by. Safety hazard 4: Fire The wind is strong in winter, the weather is dry, and children are curious about fire. If parents do not provide guidance, it can easily lead to big mistakes. Recently, a fire broke out in a community in Zhangjiagang City. Later, the rescue workers learned that the child\’s parents had gone to work night shift that night, leaving the 8-year-old and 2-year-old children at home. When two children saw candles at home, they lit them and started playing. As a result, they accidentally ignited the bedding at home. Fortunately, the neighbor discovered it in time and called the police quickly, which prevented a tragedy. A child from Ankang lit a candle to practice \”Splitting the Wind Palm\”. As a result, the wind did not blow, but set the public carport on fire, causing 40 electric cars and motorcycles to be set on fire, costing his parents hundreds of thousands of dollars. economic losses. Firecrackers are also \”ticking time bombs\” hidden around children. The People\’s Daily once issued an article stating that parents must not let children set off firecrackers alone, and tell their children to stay away from set off fireworks and firecrackers, and not to approach unlit firecrackers. Safety hazard five: Internet security Children are at home during the winter vacation, so they will inevitably go online to relax. Thinking about the transformed \”Peppa Pig\” and \”Princess Elsa\” that I saw a few days ago, I feel that they are full of malice. In the past, we taught our children not to talk to strangers on the Internet, not to reveal their home address at will, not to meet netizens alone, and not to browse pornographic websites. As parents, this winter vacation, we must transform into safety guards to help our children identify and intercept those poisonous horror animations that have been grafted onto them. Safety accidents are everywhere, and parents must pay close attention to safety. Accidental injuries in life have become the biggest threat to children. As parents, what we can do is to do our best to instill safety education knowledge in our children and cut off these \”sources of danger\” at the source. Danger is not scary, only being careless is scary. As a parent, you must remember the importance of \”preventing problems before they occur\” and make sure to spread the word more often so that you can stay safe in the event of \”danger\”.
