Many parents drive their children out to work and leave their children in the car alone. They think it's safer. In fact, it's just the opposite. Especially in summer, when the vehicle is exposed to the outside and the temperature inside the vehicle rises rapidly, it is very easy to leave the child in an airtight car, causing heatstroke or even suffocation. Parents should never leave the child in the car alone. " The news of parents' carelessness leading to the death of their children has been constantly reported. If the traffic police didn't find and rescue the children in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
[it's dangerous for children to be locked in the car]
The space inside the car is narrow and well sealed, so it is difficult for fresh air from outside to enter the car. The children who are locked in the car will soon have adverse reactions such as rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure due to lack of oxygen. If the children are accompanied by violent activities at the same time, this kind of reaction will aggravate, and in serious cases, coma and even suffocation will occur.
In summer, the temperature in the car is higher. If children are locked in the car, they are prone to heatstroke, dehydration and even 'heat stroke'. Studies have shown that when the temperature reaches 35 ℃ and the sun shines for 15 minutes, the temperature in the closed car can rise to 65 ℃, and it can be fatal to stay in such an environment for half an hour; Under direct sunlight, the temperature in the closed car can rise by about 20 ℃ in one hour, so even if the initial temperature in the car is 26 ℃, it will exceed 40 ℃ in one hour. Under such high temperature, children's body temperature rises and water loses much faster than adults, and their respiratory system and heat resistance are not as good as adults. Therefore, it is very likely that 'heat stroke', that is, excessive accumulation of heat in the body will lead to damage of nervous organs and even death.
[how to ask for help when a child is locked in the car]
In recent years, we have seen many reports of children being locked in the car and causing death. In order to prevent these tragedies, parents must do a good job in prevention, and teach children to learn to ask for help if they are not careful to be locked in the car.
1. Try to minimize the chance of leaving the child alone in the car. Parents must lock the door when they leave. Even if they leave for a short time, they can't leave their children in the car alone.
2. Teach children how to save themselves. For more sensible children, parents should teach their children not to press the button on the car, so as not to accidentally put themselves in the car; And teach them help seeking skills, let them learn to open the door, if the car is electronic lock or the child is too small to open the door, you can teach them to honk the car horn, so as to attract the attention of passers-by for rescue. Of course, these operations are mainly for children over 4-5 years old. If the children are too young, it is difficult to achieve.
[safety precautions for riding with children]
1. Never leave a baby or toddler in the car alone; Some older curious children may also touch some of the car's switches and cause danger.
2. Children under 12 years old must sit in the back seat, especially children aged 2 to 5 years old. They must sit in the rear seat. When the co pilot's position meets an emergency, the short baby can't be protected when the air bag is opened.
3. Don't let children wear adult seat belts. They don't fit children's body. If the safety belt is tied too tightly, it may cause strangulation to the child's neck or crush injury to the waist when the accident occurs; If it's too loose, there's no protection.
4. Don't let children lean out of the car to avoid the danger of wrong or overtaking and accidents caused by window closing. In case of emergency braking, the child's ribs will be broken, and the child will be thrown out of the car.
5. Develop the habit of checking whether children are left in the car before and after locking the car.
6. Children's car is not a playground. Children should not eat or drink when they are on the bus. The bumps of the car can easily cause food to enter the trachea; Don't let children play with sharp toys. Children will be scratched when the car bumps or brakes suddenly.
7. Don't let the children get on and off by themselves.
8. Always lock the door and trunk and keep the key out of the reach of the child.
9. If you see a child left alone in a hot car, please call the local emergency number in time. If the child in the car is uncomfortable due to high temperature, take him out of the car as soon as possible and cool down immediately.
