The 7-year-old boy Mingming passed away forever because of his parents\’ carelessness. That day, Mingming\’s parents took him out to do errands. However, when they arrived at the destination, their parents forgot their son in the car. By the time his parents discovered Mingming, he was already lying on the back seat, his lips were blue, and he was no longer breathing. During the day, the local maximum temperature reached 35 degrees. You can imagine how much suffering the children must have suffered at that time! News about children having accidents in cars breaks out time and time again, which is really heartbreaking. Not long ago, a mother mistakenly locked her child in the car. When the fire police arrived, she wanted to smash the car window to save the child. However, the mother refused to smash the car window and waited for about 20 minutes until the person who unlocked the car arrived. This mother may not know that a study in the United States found that when the temperature reaches 35°C and the sun shines for 15 minutes, the temperature in a closed car can rise to 65°C. Staying in such an environment for half an hour can be fatal. Because children are not fully developed, their body temperature rises and body water is lost much faster than adults, and their respiratory systems and heat tolerance are not as good as adults. Therefore, \”heat stroke\” is very easy to occur in \”stuffy tank trucks\”. We all love our children more than our own lives, but there are always parents who put their children in danger because of their carelessness or ignorance, and pay the heaviest price! Danger is everywhere, and many of the things we are used to seeing pose huge safety risks. When alarm bells always hang above our heads, may we be more vigilant and less lucky. Escalators that \”eat people\” Recently, elevator accidents have occurred frequently, which is shocking. A 1-year-old child in Hunan got his hand stuck while riding an escalator in a shopping mall. It was diagnosed that the child\’s right arm was strangled. A young woman in Nanjing, wearing a long skirt and holding her child in her arms, fell while riding an escalator. While struggling to get up, she leaned back due to her unstable center of gravity and almost rolled down the escalator with her child. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and the danger was saved. The public security department has conducted special experiments to test: There are gaps between the stairs and the hoardings of the elevator and in the gap between the pedals at the end of the elevator, which are very dangerous to touch with your hands. Never let children ride escalators alone. Children have small fingers, and if they fall and their hands or feet get into these gaps, the consequences will be disastrous. Safety accidents caused by children playing on escalators, riding on escalator handrails, and walking backwards on escalators also occur from time to time. Elevators can kill people, but they are not toys. Never let your children play in the elevator! When parents take their children to take the elevator, it is best to choose a straight elevator. The \”terrible\” anti-lost rope for children. Most mothers who have babies are familiar with the \”artifact for walking babies\” anti-lost rope. Use it to hold your baby while shopping, so you can free your eyes and buy with peace of mind. However, this child-rearing artifact may also cause disaster if used improperly. Not long ago, a shocking scene happened on Shenzhen Metro Line 1. The father and mother held their son and daughter respectively with anti-lost ropes. When getting on the subway, the father and daughter rushed onto the subway first. But at this moment, the subway door closed immediately. The son, who was being held by his father, and the mother, who was holding her daughter, were left on the platform. At this critical moment, fortunately, the staff immediately pressed the \”emergency stop\” button, and finallyThere was no danger in the end. It’s really scary. Once the subway starts, the consequences will be disastrous. When using an anti-lost rope to take your child on an escalator, you also need to pay more attention. Just a few days ago, two children were playing in and out of a vertical elevator with ropes tied around their waists. As a result, when the elevator closed and went down, the boy was blocked from the door. The girl was suspended by a rope in the elevator and fell heavily. When we use the anti-lost rope to take our children out, we must not take it lightly. We still need to hold the child\’s hand when entering and exiting automatic doors and elevators. In addition, you should always pay attention to your children\’s movements to prevent them from untying the safety rope. Not only outdoors, but also at home, children are prone to accidental injuries. The closer we are to a place we think is safe, the easier it is to let our guard down. However, according to the Child Injury Prevention Report, the most accidental injuries to children occur at home, as high as 44.5%. In the family, there are also many hidden dangers that require our constant attention. Mirrors and other glass products – hidden sharp blades A few days ago, I saw a piece of news that made my whole body tremble. Just because of a mirror at home, a 6-year-old girl Lele was severely cut and almost lost an arm. Here\’s the thing. Zhao Guoqiang, the deputy chief physician of the emergency bedside surgery department of Zhejiang University Children\’s Hospital, posted a message on Moments. In the photo, the wounds are bloody and the bones are faintly visible. This kid is Lele. Her injury was caused by imitating her mother and accidentally scratched the mirror while changing clothes in front of the wardrobe. After the mirror fell off, it hit Lele\’s arm. In this accident, the flesh of Lele\’s armpit was completely cut open, the brachial artery, brachial vein and three nerves were completely severed, and 1/3 of the body\’s blood was lost. After a full five hours of surgery, Lele\’s arm was finally saved, but her humeral joint and hand functions may be affected. Dr. Zhao, who performed the operation, did not hesitate to send out \”shocking\” pictures to remind everyone because the hospital had received two consecutive cases of such children in recent days. Lele\’s parents also blamed themselves: \”I had noticed that the mirror was a little loose before, but I didn\’t pay attention to it. I didn\’t expect that it would cause such a big problem to the child.\” The huge warning left to us is: the glass products at home must be cleaned regularly. Check and replace in time to avoid danger. Common flammable and explosive items Some commonly used household items are flammable and explosive. Especially in hot summer, they have a higher risk of combustion and explosion. Hand sanitizer, perfume, toilet water, styling water, etc. It is very convenient to use hand sanitizer for children when going out, but many people do not know that there are safety risks involved. Firefighters once conducted a special test experiment: squeezing hand sanitizer into a tray. When the hand sanitizer was exposed to an open flame, a blue flame instantly appeared. And, two minutes later, the flames were still not extinguished. After that, he applied hand sanitizer to the wall of the glass bowl, waited for the hand sanitizer to evaporate for 15 seconds, and then touched it with an open flame. The hand sanitizer in the glass bowl ignited instantly. If a child comes into contact with an open flame such as a barbecue grill after applying hand sanitizer, the consequences will be disastrous. Subsequently, the fire officers and soldiers sprayed perfume, toilet water, and styling water on the burning alcohol lamp in turn, and the alcohol lamp immediatelyHuge flames burst out. Why does hand sanitizer ignite? Because the main ingredient of most hand sanitizers on the market is ethanol (that is, alcohol). On the usage precautions on the back of the hand sanitizer, it is also clearly written that the product is flammable and should not be near fire or high temperatures. You also need to be more careful when using it, and do not get close to an open flame in a short period of time to avoid accidents. Be especially careful when using it on children, as they may accidentally eat it. For flammable and explosive dangerous goods, we must keep them properly and keep them away from the sun to avoid spontaneous combustion. Be careful to keep dangerous goods out of reach of children and do not let children play with them. A 6-year-old boy in Jiading, Shanghai, experienced a shocking scene when he was given a frozen \”sparkling\” drink. He placed a can of Coke in the freezer of the refrigerator. Then, when he took out the Coke and tried to open it, the Coke exploded. The metal ring of the can was instantly blown away, directly penetrating the boy\’s cheek, causing the boy to need 38 stitches on the left side of his face. Not only carbonated drinks, beer and other fizzy drinks are also very dangerous if placed in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. The reason is that changes in temperature will cause changes in gas solubility. The huge temperature difference causes a large amount of gas in the drink to precipitate in a short period of time, causing a powerful explosion. For carbonated drinks, be careful not to put them in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. You also need to be careful not to shake the drinks placed in the refrigerator too much. At the same time, try to adapt to a room temperature environment for a while before opening the drink. Microwave oven heats milk, eggs, etc. My son Xiaoshu has always been very curious about microwave ovens. Once, after his grandma used the microwave oven, before she could turn off the power, Xiaoshu picked up a can of milk, put it in the microwave oven, and started the microwave oven. Fortunately, I was discovered in time, but I was still very scared. When heating sealed foods such as milk and eggs in a microwave oven, the heat generated by the microwave oven is from the inside to the outside, and the sealed outer skin blocks the release of heat. When it reaches a certain level, an explosion will occur. If we have small children at home, we need to develop the habit of turning off the power to the microwave oven in time. If you have older children, you also need to remind them that canned drinks, milk, shelled foods, etc. cannot be placed in the microwave. \”Deadly\” chests of drawers, bookshelves Chests of drawers and bookshelves are almost essential furniture in the home, but it is not uncommon for them to \”cause trouble\”. Earlier, IKEA chests of drawers caused eight injuries, and 17.3 million cabinets were urgently recalled. Ted, a 22-month-old boy who lives in the United States, was left for a while while his mother was taking a nap. When she returned to the room, she found that her son\’s bed was empty. Later, her mother saw that the six-drawer dresser at home had fallen to the ground. Ted was pressed under the dresser and was no longer breathing. It is stated in the \”General Technical Conditions for Children\’s Furniture\” that furniture exceeding 0.6 meters in the home should be fixed to the wall. Furniture that children may climb on, such as chests of drawers, bookshelves, and storage racks, especially needs to be reinforced. At the same time, try not to place heavy objects on bookshelves or shelves without doors to avoid falling and injuring children. Playing with water is risky, and you may drown at home. Xiaoruo, a 3-year-old girl, died while taking a bathSomething unexpected happened during the process. That day, Xiaoruo had a fever, so her parents put her in a bathtub converted from a storage box and planned to give her a warm bath. After settling his daughter, the father turned around and went to the room to make cold medicine. Just 2 minutes later, when the father went back to see his daughter, he found that her daughter had drowned. After rescue, although Xiao Ruo\’s life was not in danger, his brain was severely damaged. A 1-year-old and 3-month-old girl in Qingdao was playing in a plastic swimming pool at home. The mother put a life preserver on her head and left after seeing that the child was having fun. In just 5 minutes, the child had drowned and was floating on the water. The \”Review Report on the Current Situation of Children\’s Injuries in China\” states that among children who die from accidental injuries, the probability of drowning for babies under 1 year old is 7%, while for children aged 1-14 it is 50%. We need to remind everyone that when children are playing in the water, we must be very alert and not let the children leave our sight for a moment. Water storage containers at home must be covered and made difficult for children to open easily. Be careful not to use bathtubs, bidets, etc. to store water to prevent danger. Being careless is not \”letting go\”, and being brave is not \”taking risks\”. The more safety awareness you have, the less unexpected you will be. It’s about safety and leaving nothing to chance. Sometimes, danger comes in seconds, but it leads to a lifetime of bitter consequences. Children are the most cherished treasures in our hearts. Even if we risk our lives, we must prevent disasters for them. When it comes to matters related to the safety of children, no amount of caution is too much. We need to stick to the bottom line, give our children principled safety education, stay away from danger, and resolutely avoid touching \”minefields\”. My dear baby, as long as you grow up safely and healthily, it is a blessing that I pray for and am grateful for throughout my life.
