Tianjin child falls and dies: If you don’t take these precautions, you may be the next one to regret it

Yesterday morning, I opened WeChat and saw a shocking news: Two young children fell from a building in Tianjin Joy City and died on the spot. Here’s what happened: At 20:57 on the evening of February 27, a tragedy occurred in Joy City Mall in Nankai District, Tianjin. Two children fell from the fourth floor to the first floor below and died on the spot. At the time of the incident, both toddlers were held by their father. After one child fell, the father subconsciously reached out to pull the child, but the child he was holding in his other hand also fell. Because the scene was too tragic, I will not post the pictures anymore. Since having a child, I feel heartbroken every time I see similar news, and I don’t want to look into the details of the incident. While the Internet is still discussing whether it is the father\’s fault or the mother\’s fault, whether it is the parents\’ responsibility or the mall\’s responsibility, I think what we should pay more attention to is how to prevent similar tragedies from happening again? Therefore, I endured the heartache and compiled a list of similar accidents that occurred in recent years to remind parents to take preventive measures before they happen. (The following animation is too tragic, please click with caution!) After all, many seemingly accidental things can be absolutely avoided as long as we raise our awareness and strengthen prevention. Don’t wait for the accident to happen before regretting it! Do not let children near high-rise fences, including shopping malls, balconies, windows, etc. I have found that in the news in recent years, falling from high altitudes is the biggest hidden danger of accidental death of children. There are two main reasons: first, parents failed to take good care of their children; second, protective nets were not installed on balconies and window sills or the gaps were too large. Therefore, parents are reminded to always take care of their children, stay away from high-rise balconies without protective nets, and install anti-theft windows or protective nets with qualified clearances in their homes. Do not take the escalator in shopping malls when carrying your child, and do not let your child play on the side of the escalator. Let’s look at two cases: In Qingpu District, Shanghai, a grandmother carried a four-month-old baby boy down the escalator. Her body tilted out of control, and the baby boy fell out of the grandmother’s hands. —It’s best to take the lift when holding a baby! In Dongguan, Guangdong, a 2-year-old boy was playing alone next to an escalator. He slid down the rolling handrail and finally fell to the first floor below. Never let your child play with the elevator casually. It is very, very dangerous! Children under the age of 4 must ride in a safety seat when driving with the doors, windows and trunk locked. When driving a private car with your child, whether you are driving in the city or on a long trip, be sure to let your child ride in a safety seat, especially for children under 4 years old. Experiments have shown that if a car traveling at a speed of 48 kilometers per hour collides, a 9-kg child will generate about 275 kilograms of momentum in an instant. If the speed of the car is slightly faster, it is impossible to hold the child during the collision. How harmful is it to not use a safety seat? Let’s take a look at a set of animated pictures ↓↓Don’t let your child sit in the passenger seat. Once the car crashes, the child will behave like this ↓↓It’s not safe to be held by an adult at all! Children under 4 years old must use safety seats, and older children must wear seat belts! In addition, be sure to lock the doors, windows and trunk before driving to prevent children from opening and accidentally falling while driving. Also, be sure not to forget your children when you get out of the car! Never let your children play near the parking lot. Let’s take a look at some heart-wrenching cases first (it’s hard to bear to watch!): Three children were sitting and playing in the parking lot. The child was squatting on the ground while playing and was run over by a reversing car. The child was still squatting on the road, causing the accident. Of course, the car\’s blind spot and the driver\’s negligence were the direct causes of the accident, but what about parents? If the child is not squatting on the road where he shouldn\’t be, but is playing quietly in a safe area under the supervision of his parents, then no matter how fast the car is or how poor the driver\’s skills are, he will not hit the child. go! Don\’t play with mobile phones while taking care of your children. Another two worrying cases: Xi\’an Xianyang, a mother took her son to play in the water. The child drowned after struggling in a shallow pool for 3 minutes. The mother stood beside him and kept playing with his mobile phone the whole time. Didn\’t even look up. The woman lowered her head to play with her mobile phone, and the girl walked into the driver\’s blind spot of the van and was eventually run over to death. Many times, accidents happen in just a split second! Please be sure to keep an eye on your children at all times, and don’t be immersed in your mobile phone and forget about your child’s safety! Don’t let your children stand in a supermarket shopping cart to see this thrilling scene: I once let my children stand in a shopping cart, but now I’m scared to think about it. This kind of tragic news is not reported once or twice. We must be vigilant! When taking your children to the supermarket, you must sit on the foldable board of the shopping cart, and always keep an eye on your child and don\’t let him stand up! Do not let children run around with long sticks and other objects. A 2-year-old child used chopsticks to fork meatballs and ran while eating. As a result, he fell down and the chopsticks were inserted directly from his mouth into his brain. A 5-year-old boy ran around while brushing his teeth and accidentally fell down. The toothbrush was inserted directly into his head… Therefore, parents are advised to watch their children carefully and never let them hold objects like long sticks. Put it in your mouth and run around! Do not feed large pieces of food to children. Do not feed raw nuts (peanuts and melon seeds), candied fruits, jelly, longan, glutinous rice balls and other foods directly to infants and young children under 2-3 years old. Once a child is choked, he or she may die within minutes. In addition to calling an ambulance and sending him to the hospital in time, adults must also actively save themselves first. If the trachea is not completely blocked, the child may cough violently if he is still breathing. In this case, parents should keep the child\’s body stable and seek medical attention immediately while trying not to move the foreign body in the trachea. If the trachea has been blocked and the child cannot breathe at all, parents can use the \”Heimlich maneuver\”. You can’t believe it in time to empty the water in the bucket at home, right? Children under 3 years old can drown in 3 cm of water! Therefore, families with such young children must empty the water in the bucket in time! Don’t let your children sit in the basket of a bicycle. These shared bicycles can be seen everywhere in the city. Many parents put their children in the basket of the bicycle when they take their children out to play. It makes them scared! Last weekend, I saw such a scene in the park: a parent lost his balance while riding a bicycle, and the child fell out of the basket. At this time, a small truck drove over, and the wheel was only 1 centimeter away from the child! It was so thrilling! If there is a bicycle without a basket, some parents will let their children stand on the front pedals. This is also very dangerous, because in the event of an accidental fall, the adults\’ hands will not have time to protect the children.
