The disappearance of a 4-year-old girl on the beach in Shanghai has attracted widespread attention. How can we protect the safety of children?

A four-year-old girl in Shanghai went missing while playing on the beach for more than 36 hours. Local police and rescue workers have arrived at the scene and are launching search and rescue operations. At this time, the exact condition of the girl is not yet known, but this is an urgent situation that requires immediate action. If you have any information or clues about this incident, please contact local police immediately to help find the missing girl. Why have incidents of missing children become more and more common in recent years? Inadequate parental supervision According to relevant data, a large number of children go missing around the world every year, most of which are caused by parents\’ neglect of supervision. Children lack awareness of safety precautions. Children are young and have weak self-identification ability, and they are easy to trust others to be trafficked. Weak supervision at home and school If supervision at home and school is weak, children can easily be exposed to criminals and become lost. Parents addicted to mobile phones can also cause children to get lost. There was a tragedy in which a child got lost because his father was busy replying to WeChat. It was not until 10 days later that the child was found behind the construction site, but the child had died. Even if a child has a sense of self-protection, will it be possible to end the occurrence of lost children? Even if a child has the ability to protect himself, the phenomenon of getting lost cannot be completely avoided. Because children\’s cognitive abilities and behavioral control abilities are still limited, they are easily affected by the external environment, such as temptation, deception, coercion, etc. In addition, even if a child has a certain ability to protect himself, he may encounter dangerous situations that exceed his ability to cope, such as violent crimes, natural disasters, etc. Therefore, parents and educational institutions should strengthen safety education and supervision of children. At the same time, the whole society should also jointly pay attention to and solve the problem of missing children and ensure the safety of children from multiple aspects. So how should we protect the safety of our children? In the face of the current social environment, truly protecting the safety of children requires the cooperation and efforts of parents, schools, society and the government to achieve this! Parents should strengthen their guardianship responsibilities, accompany and pay attention to their children as much as possible, and educate their children on safety precautions and self-protection abilities. Tell your children basic information such as your home address, parents’ contact numbers and names, and how to contact the police or other help agencies in the event of an emergency. Try to avoid letting children go out alone, especially in unfamiliar or high-traffic areas. Teach children to recognize and refuse contact and invitations from strangers, and not to follow strangers or accept food from strangers. When out and about, try to keep your children within sight and out of reach of dangerous objects or places. The school has strengthened campus safety management to ensure that safety facilities and measures inside and outside the school are in place. Carry out safety education and drill activities to let children understand various safety issues and response methods. Establish student safety files, keep abreast of student developments, and maintain close contact with parents. Set up safety monitoring systems and alarm devices in schools to detect and deal with safety issues in a timely manner. On the social side, we should strengthen publicity and popularization of measures and knowledge to prevent missing children, and increase public awareness and attention. Establish a sound social safety network and strengthen attention and handling mechanisms for missing children.Give full play to the role of communities, schools, enterprises and other parties to jointly pay attention to and ensure the safety of children. The government formulates and implements laws and regulations related to child protection and intensifies its crackdown on criminals. Establish a sound child protection mechanism and management organization to strengthen the management and supervision of children\’s safety issues. Support and promote the development and application of child safety technology to improve the success rate of finding missing children. In short, protecting children\’s safety requires the joint attention and efforts of the whole society, and requires the cooperation and efforts of parents, schools, society and the government. Finally, let us give a like and wish the four-year-old girl in Shanghai a safe return thanks to the joint efforts of many parties!
