How to protect children’s safety during holiday?

With the end of the exam, the students finally ushered in a happy holiday, and the air was already full of excitement. Many parents and children are planning their holiday trips, and tourist attractions are crowded everywhere. Although the holiday is a time for joy and celebration, it is also a time for us to relax our vigilance. Many times, children don’t want to go with their parents all the time during their holidays. They may go to the places they want alone, while their parents may want to stay in the hotel for rest. There is no doubt that as a parent, you know better than anyone that you should not let your children out of your sight, even for a second. How to protect children’s safety during holidays has become a problem that every parent needs to think about. When children go out alone, parents need to track their location to prevent accidents.

The kidnapping rate and missing children cases are higher during holidays.

According to the survey, more than 70% of children get lost during the holidays every year, and most of them are under 22 years old. However, many of these children get lost not because of some complicated kidnapping scenes, but because they went to some strange places alone and could not return to their parents. The disappearance of children will make parents very worried and anxious. Although the children can return home smoothly in the end, they leave deep fear for their families.

However, when children are kidnapped, the situation is quite different. Although it does not happen often, it tends to show an upward trend in a specific period. According to the survey, more than 40% of child abduction cases occur during holidays every year. Therefore, even during holidays, it is very important to keep a high degree of vigilance.

What are the most common dangers during holidays?

1. Alcohol makes children unconscious. When it comes to alcohol, things rarely end well. Children will inevitably want to indulge themselves during holidays, and they will choose to drink alcohol when having dinner with others. However, the danger often happens after drinking alcohol.
2. A large-scale parade. They are exciting, spectacular and very crowded. Children are easily attracted by crowds and get lost. It is also a perfect crime scene for pickpockets and kidnappers.
3. Get lost in pursuit of adventure. Many children choose to take risks in strange places during their holidays. However, taking risks without knowing enough about strange places often leads to getting lost.

How to ensure the safety of children during holidays?

Although the statistics are scary, don’t worry too much. Such things can be avoided. Just be careful and still have a good time during the holidays. Parents should know how to protect their children’s safety during holidays. In order to ensure that children have an accident-free holiday, the following precautions can be taken:

1. Talk to your children about safety. Parents should not only know how to protect their children, but also let them know what actions should be taken to avoid danger in an emergency.
2. Let them know how to find you. Make an appointment where you can meet in case they get lost when they go out alone. If necessary, explain how to contact the police. Warn them not to trust random strangers on the street, but to find an iconic building or a large department store where they can ask employees for help.
3. Install a Family Locator on their cell phones. Nowadays, even children have their own mobile phones, and they will carry them with them when they go out alone. By using Family Locator, parents can protect their children’s safety, because it can locate their children’s real-time location and view their historical location, and you can clearly know where they are and where they have been. The unique SOS feature can also let your child send you an alarm message in case of danger, so that you can go to the child’s location at the first time.
