Why do children drown in summer in rural areas? Why can't it be stopped?

There is a reservoir in the village next door, which has not been built for decades. Several people drown every year. Old people say that this reservoir is particularly "greedy"! The most wonderful thing is that one year I drowned two young women and drowned in the reservoir at night!

This reservoir is very large, the water is very clear and very cold. It is said that the home of these two young women is not far from the reservoir. In the evening, they took advantage of the dark conditions to meet and take a bath in the reservoir. In fact, there was another one with them, but she didn't drown. When the two young women sank to the bottom of the water, she ran back to the village to call someone!

That night, the villagers rushed to save them, but there was no one there. The surviving woman said that she was "dragged into the water". Hearing this, no one dared to go into the water to save them, only their families were crying there!

The next day, the salvage team specially invited in the village, the kind that can dive, went down for half an hour, and both of them were fished out, saying that they were entangled in aquatic plants at the bottom of the water. The state of those two people will not be described here!

Before that, several people were drowned every year, either children or fishermen. It is said that there are "strange" things in the reservoir, which are particularly bizarre. After this diving, everyone was not so scared, but I heard that the fish in this reservoir are really not small!

When I was at school, I heard about drowning children every summer. Later, in the city, except what I saw online, it was really rare.

Most of the drowned children were in the countryside or went back to their hometown to visit relatives. I think the main reason for this situation is the problem of school and family education management.

When I was a child, I often went swimming in the reservoir. Teachers and parents often talk, but they don't listen at all. At noon, I sneaked out while my parents were resting!

Why are there so few such things in the city? Because of the rich cultural and recreational life in the city, there are many remedial classes for children during holidays, and children have no time to play in the wild. Even if there are ponds in the city, there are generally railings, which are better protected.

But in rural areas, children are like "herding sheep" after school. Only when eating, parents will think of looking for children, and children will have less entertainment. Fishing in the water and bathing in the river are the most common forms of entertainment, which increases the risk factor!

Therefore, in view of this situation:

First, schools should strengthen education, vigorously publicize the dangers of playing with water, and shoot some educational materials about preventing children from drowning, so that children are genuinely afraid.

Second, parents should take good care of their children and let them have something to do during the holidays. Raising a child is not easy. A few years ago, after the college entrance examination, I drowned several students at once. What a tragedy!

Third, the society should have supervision. For some open reservoirs, the occurrence of drowning events can be greatly reduced by either doing a good job of vigilance and protection or assigning special personnel to take care of them.

The lesson is painful, but things didn't happen to them. People would listen to stories, and when it really happened to them, it was too late!

When I was about seven years old, I went to play by the river with some children. There are many fish in the river, and the river is shallow. Some children rolled up their trouser legs and stood by to catch fish.

After reading it for a while, my heart itched, thinking that the water was not deep anyway, and everyone stood by and grabbed it, so it should be okay.

So I rolled up my trouser legs and jumped into the water to catch fish. This is a very exciting thing. It's exciting to catch it or not. If you can catch it, it will make people happier, as if there is some kind of magic.

I caught too much and lost my footing. As a result, I slipped and fell into a deep place. What was it like then? I feel that the water is not very deep, but I just can't stand up. You can show your head when you run, and you should stand up straight without crossing your head, but you can't stand up straight no matter how hard you struggle.

Even after a few sips of water, I have no strength. At this moment, a big hand appeared and reached out and grabbed me out. I took it to the shore, and I lay on the shore for a long time before I realized-I almost drowned just now.

This is something I experienced personally when I was a child. It is a tragedy for a child to drown at the water's edge. Every summer, the school will take pains to hold parent-teacher meetings to educate students not to go to the water and stay away from the river.

But there are still reports of children drowning from time to time. Many people wonder, what is this? Why not end it?

Black sister-in-law said her opinion.

I: Riverside has great magic for children. There is a strange phenomenon that both boys and girls have no resistance to playing by the river. For some reason, people like to go to the river. If you can catch some fish, touch some shrimps and catch some mussels, it will be more fun.

Adults and children are always interested in playing by the river.

Our village is near the Weihe River. As long as I can remember, several children drowned in the Weihe River in our village alone. Among the children of the same age as Black Sister-in-law, two brothers went to the river after lunch, jumped into the river hand in hand and never came out. There were still many people enjoying the cool under the bridge. By the time I remembered, they had drowned.

A child went to the river to play with his brother and his children. He slipped into the river and never came out. When he fished it out, his hands were raised into fists and his lips were blue. I saw it with my own eyes. I can feel that he suffered endless pain in the water.

The year before last, three children had dinner and played by the river. All three children have already taken the senior high school entrance examination, and they are all fifteen or sixteen years old. Black sister-in-law's cousin took a look at the three children when she was herding sheep, and then there was only one moment left.

He ran down and asked, the child couldn't tell why, and my cousin jumped down and fished it out on the spot, but both children had drowned.

How deep were they drowned? It's about 50 centimeters deep, which means two 15-and 16-year-old children drowned in 40 or 50 centimeters deep.

According to the third child, one child slipped in, the other pulled in, and was pulled in by the river.

Some people may say to Xu Anqi, how can such shallow water drown such a big child? It may be a little strange. Actually, no. Didn't black sister-in-law say her own experience on it? At that time, I felt that the water was not deep, but I couldn't stand up, and I didn't know whether I was scared or panicked. Anyway, I just can't stand up.

I believe that the first child was too scared to stand up after sliding in. After the person who pulled him in was brought in, both of them would be more flustered and want to climb out, but it is not surprising that they drowned together when they couldn't stand straight.

Riverside, waterside, especially the river with fish and shrimp, has a strange magic for children. They like to play by the river, regardless of boys and girls.

Fishing is the earliest hunting behavior of human beings. People are interested in it and will have a special sense of accomplishment after catching it.

As the old saying goes, you often walk by the river. How can you not wet your shoes? Since more people go to play, accidents will happen. This is a question of probability, which has nothing to do with superstition and mystery.

Why can't it be eliminated?

Ⅱ: Parents and teachers can't always follow their children. A few days ago, the black sister-in-law girls' school held two parent-teacher conferences in succession, both about drowning prevention. The only thing the teacher emphasizes is that parents and teachers must cross-supervise their children. Not to supervise whether they will be flooded, but to supervise them and not to let them play by the river.

But as we all know, neither teachers nor parents can always be with their children. Therefore, countless parents will come up with ways to intimidate their children, not only now, but also in rural areas in the past.

Mrs. Black heard too many such stories when she was a child, so there was a saying that she memorized in her heart when she was a child, and it was also often said by rural elderly at that time: I was afraid of ghosts at home and water when I went out.

We all know that there are no ghosts in this world, but when people are alone, they often associate some noises with ghosts. When they go out, water is as terrible as ghosts, because they are all unknown and unpredictable.

However, are the children afraid? Not really!

In order to prevent children from playing by the river, many parents have tried their best. In order to play, the children also tried their best. For example, they shave their heads so that their hair can be dried when there is no water, which is not easy for parents to find.

Neither parents nor teachers want their children to have an accident, let alone drown. But neither parents nor teachers can always follow their children. Children certainly don't want to drown, but they can't stand the temptation to play in the water.

Some people say that this cannot be eliminated? It's hard. We can't drain the river for this, can we? We can't build a railway on the river for this, can we? Even if you pretend, the children will still go to play.

So the only thing we can do is to constantly emphasize the harmfulness of this matter, plant the idea of staying away from the river in their hearts, and let them go less or not. This method is passive and there is no active method.

Some people say they can be taught to swim or something. How many people can't swim after drowning? There is a deep connection between drowning and swimming, but from the probability, people who can swim are more likely to drown. Because he thinks he can swim, he is not afraid.

Sometimes, it is not a bad thing to plant children's fear of water. At least they can think more when they want to play. This kind of thinking will sometimes save their lives.

ⅲ: There is no denying that there are drowning children everywhere. No matter how old a child is, no matter whether he can swim or not, he may be drowned as long as he enters the water. Any drowning child is a complete tragedy. When Mrs. Black saw her mother holding her drowned son, she cried her eyes out and choked again and again, which was shocking.

I can deeply understand my mother's pain and regret. Raising such a big child, once drowning, can crush my parents both psychologically and physically.

But unfortunately, every summer, we can always see or hear such tragedies. How to avoid it? How to eliminate it? This is a problem that needs serious consideration, don't you think?

First of all, the theme of this question may be a bit one-sided.

Before the arrival of summer every year, every primary and secondary school teacher will send a leaflet to every parent in advance, which tells how parents and teachers can cooperate well to prevent the danger of drowning. In summer, primary and secondary school students have summer vacation. In this more than a month, primary and secondary school students may have drowning incidents. The relevant education departments and teachers, as well as some other departments have made clear instructions. Parents of every primary and middle school student must supervise their children during the summer vacation. Don't let them play in some river ditches and fish ponds, and don't take a bath alone. Do everything possible to prevent drowning for their children.

Now basically every family in rural areas has only one or two children. For parents, every child is as concerned and loved as his own life. Every child is the future of the country and the hope of the nation. Every parent will come in summer to supervise and educate their children and put an end to the danger of drowning in summer.

In rural areas, there are ponds, streams, canals and other waters with water. Children who go out to play with water may drown, which may be related to the neglect of children and their guardians. Rural cuisine lives in the south of China-Guangxi, and there are many outdoor places with water. Let's talk about it below:

Family education

In rural areas, rivers, ponds and other places with water are common, but children's vigilance and self-help ability are not as good as adults'. The water is not as safe as the ground, with accidents and high risks. Adults are usually busy with all kinds of farm work, so it is impossible to stare at children at home all day or take them out to work all the time. Moreover, adults are also afraid that children will have an accident when they go out to play with water or other friends. So some simple housework, such as cooking, feeding pigs, feeding chickens and ducks, will arrange for children to go home from school, so that children don't have so much time to go out. Usually, children will be told many times not to run around and not to play in reservoirs and other places. Adults will be spanked and beaten when they know it, and they will really be punished. Children generally dare not mess around; After the children go to school, the teachers in the school will also have education on drowning prevention, and the children will understand it.

In hot summer, there is also a lot of farm work to be done in rural areas. Places with water, such as reservoirs and rivers, are generally not far from crop growing areas. If adults who go out to do farm work see their children playing in the water, whether they are their own children or relatives' children, they will remind them that it is not safe to swim there, and they will feel cool after taking more baths at home. Don't think that they will always play in the water when it is hot. As long as you tell your children's parents ... and so on, children will generally listen to advice, but there are also a few children who think they are good at swimming and have nothing to fear, and continue to play with water, but not in deep water, but in shallow water near the shore.

school education

With the improvement of living standards in rural areas, children can play more projects, and there are not as many children at home as before. It is generally watched by people, and there are fewer children going out to play in the water. Now, like cities, there are kindergartens in rural areas. Only when you go to kindergarten can you go to primary school. Children go to kindergarten when they are young. In the park, teachers will also have education to prevent drowning, which can be said to be very important.

Let's take rural side dishes as an example. I am a mother and my children go to kindergarten. Our side is offshore. Every semester, especially in the spring semester, the teacher will teach several times about children's drowning safety, and will also ask parents to watch video learning with their children, complete the signing, and send back some information about drowning safety for parents and children to learn together and distribute in the class group. Let children remember the "six noes" of preventing drowning and correctly rescuing and saving themselves when someone is drowning. As a parent, I will give my children an exam from time to time, and I find that he keeps it in mind. The other day, he asked me if I wanted to go swimming, and then I said where to go swimming. He said to go to the swimming pool, and I watched him swim. I asked again, can I go to the river? He said no.

"You often walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes?" Some children think that they have played with water a lot, and it is not the first time to play. They are experienced and will not have an accident, so they secretly go out to play. It is useless to regret if something happens. As people here often say, people who can swim are more likely to drown, because those who can't swim dare not swim around, and those who can swim are on their own, not afraid of that, and are likely to be in danger.

However, the child's guardian doesn't pay attention to what to say. In their view, born in a water town, they didn't play with water less when they were young, and their parents didn't care. Aren't they good-looking? When I was a parent, I didn't take care of my children to go swimming and play with water. And some children are left-behind children whose parents are not around. As guardians, grandparents generally don't care too much. They don't know where children usually go to play. They didn't cry until the drowning incident, but they couldn't save their lives.

Generally speaking, the safety knowledge related to drowning prevention is not only passed after learning, but also taken seriously afterwards. Children themselves and guardians should always pay attention to it, and don't take chances, so as to reduce or even eliminate the drowning of children.

Note: The source network of the figure is invaded and deleted.

When the sample is large enough, such as 65.438+04 billion people in China, 654.38+000% cannot be realized. So there are always all kinds of accidental deaths, and 100% can't live forever. I hope you can understand.

Because the weather is hot in summer, students are not sensible and want to take a bath to cool off, which is also a fluke. So many people washed, how many drowned? How could it drown me?

As for elimination, how can we eliminate it? For example, in our school, drowning prevention notices are read by students and taken home to their parents. Moreover, every time a regular meeting of teachers is held, the school emphasizes remembering to tell students not to bathe in the river. The class teacher also earnestly said every time, and the result? Several particularly naughty people in our school asked the teacher for leave, saying that they would go back to get their ID cards (they need to hand in their ID cards when studying for the exam, and they will be under unified management). Those who didn't hand in their ID cards went out of school with fake notes, and those who had already handed in climbed the wall to take a bath by the river. Just as the teacher of the brother school saw them landing, he photographed them for us. Later, the class teacher came to them, but they refused to admit washing until they took out the photos. Asked how many times they washed, they said it was only this time. In fact, who knows how many times but myself? Let's just say that nothing happened, otherwise the school would be in trouble. ...

Most people in rural areas can't swim, and they don't want their children to learn to swim. It's not surprising to drown!

Indeed, every summer, especially during the summer vacation, we often see the news that teenagers drown and die, which makes people sad.

If you want to put an end to the tragedy, it is difficult to tell the truth, and you can only minimize the occurrence of such incidents.

I remember reading a news some time ago that a child was playing by the river and accidentally fell into the water and drowned. Later, his parents went to court to sue that the corresponding units did not install guardrails on both sides of the river, which led to the accident.

First of all, I deeply sympathize with the death of the child, but isn't the guardian of the child responsible for this result?

Children are still children, and their understanding of their own abilities and judgment of dangerous environment are far from enough, which is also the main reason for such accidents.

As the guardian of children, he not only bears the heavy responsibility of raising children, but also has the obligation to educate and protect children.

It can be said that most of the drowning accidents of teenagers are caused by the poor supervision of children's guardians, which does not need to be questioned and refuted at all.

The reason for the high probability of drowning in rural areas also stems from this.

As we all know, there are a large number of left-behind children and left-behind elderly people to take care of them in many rural areas. These old people are willing and powerless in both educational ideas and educational methods.

As far as I know, now every holiday eve, basically primary and secondary schools will send some notices like "A Letter to Parents", asking children to take them home to sign for their parents, and then bring them back to school.

Most of the content is to tell parents to pay attention to their children's safety, fire prevention, electricity prevention, drowning prevention and so on.

The starting point of this method is good, but it is more of a form.

No matter what advice parents give, it is of little significance to tell the truth if the school does not carry out relevant education work regularly.

On the one hand, the school issued these notices because the higher education department stipulated that they must be issued. On the other hand, if there is an accident, the school is basically not responsible, because the parents signed that the work has been done, but the parents did not pay attention to it.

In reality, many parents really don't pay attention to it. When they see similar notices, they basically just sign their names. The specific content can be said that they have not seen it.

If parents don't pay attention to it, a little carelessness may lay a hidden danger for the accident.

I once saw a video on the Internet. A baby just born for a few months was put in a swimming pool by his father and let it play freely without any life-saving equipment.

Watching the child float and sink, I felt my heart in my throat, but after a while, the child seemed to adapt to the water environment and miraculously swam over.

It can be said that this is unacceptable to most parents in China and will not try.

Yes, due to the different educational concepts, many children in China can't swim at all, and even lack the most basic skills of self-protection in water.

However, water has an inexplicable "temptation" for children. It can be said that 99% of children like to play with water, but they lack fear of water because of their age.

Parents should understand the simplest truth that children can play with water, which is one of the joys of their childhood. But let them know where to play with water and where not to touch it. This is the place that parents need to pay attention to.

Once upon a time, there was a discussion on the internet suggesting that schools should offer swimming classes, but this idea was difficult to implement. First of all, small space is a big problem.

There is an old saying that "everyone who drowns can swim", which makes sense for adults. Because most people who can't swim don't want to go into the water, they dare not go into the water, so naturally there will be no drowning accident.

But for children, they don't understand this, which requires parents' attention. Whether children can swim or not, parents should anticipate potential dangers and avoid them.

Tell me what I think of my return to the countryside for a year. Most children in rural areas are brought up by grandparents, and most children in rural areas are free-range. Several small partners play together in groups and sabotage together. When the meal arrives, the adults shout at the door and the children go home. Most children don't run too far and just play around here, but the recreational facilities in rural areas are limited. They are all entertaining themselves, catching bugs, fishing and stealing fruits from other people's gardens. Many ditches and ponds in rural areas have no safety measures. And children have no sense of danger. I don't know the depth. Without their parents around, they don't know they are very young. When it is hot in summer, take a bath in the water, touch the screws and catch fish. Accidents are easy to happen if you are not careful. When parents find it basically hopeless. Originally, there were fewer country people and more old people. Moreover, many old people are deaf and have poor legs and feet. Is someone called, they heard, really ran to the water, has missed the best opportunity. My daughter is 6 years old. Although she has been back for almost a year, I follow her everywhere for fear that something will happen to her. Many old people say that you have nothing to do all day and follow her. I said that the biggest thing in our family is her, except for her. Those old people didn't understand me when I said this. In any case, I will never let my daughter leave my sight. I am a person who likes to think. I'll be restless [in tears] until I see my daughter.

Summer is coming, the weather is hot, and drowning accidents are frequent. The drowning accidents of rural children are much higher than those of urban children. Investigate its reason:

First, the rural area is vast, and ditches, ponds and dams are widely distributed everywhere. Many of them have no warning labels, are unattended, and the cleaning of water is more complicated. There are hidden dangers in production safety in many places.

Second, rural parents have many chores, many of which belong to left-behind families. Children are not well cared for, often go out together, lack the necessary knowledge of drowning prevention, can't swim, can't give first aid, and are lucky. After the accident, people were panicked and mishandled, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Third, rural children have limited weekend holiday activities and lack necessary entertainment places. After going out to play, I was sweating all over, so playing with water became the only way. Children in the city have little room for activities and have little chance to play by the water. And there is no suitable place to go into the water in the city. Even if children come to the water to play, pedestrians will find and stop them in time.

In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the supervision and services of social grass-roots organizations must be in place.

First, the village community should establish public swimming pools, pools and other outdoor or indoor public welfare activities places for minors to learn to swim and play in the water and improve their self-help ability. Because now children in rural areas can't swim as well as children in cities.

Second, during weekends and holidays, the community strengthens public security patrols in dangerous waters, and all dangerous waters are subject to daily safety supervision without loopholes, with one person and one post, and a special person is responsible for preventing minors from approaching such waters.

The third is to establish an early warning mechanism to prevent drowning. Pay close attention to * * *, when someone finds minors playing in the wild, they should be alert, set up a public service hotline and get in touch with their families and communities at the first time.
