During summer vacation, family care is the best safety precaution for children

At the beginning of the summer season, a series of accidents involving the deaths of primary and secondary school students occurred one after another, once again sounding the alarm for summer security. Judging from the tragedies that have occurred, the lack of partial family care after primary and secondary school leave is one of the reasons for the tragedy.

July 2, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, the accident occurred in fall death, a 9-year-old boy accidentally falling from a tall building, by a doctor died. A few days ago, the little boy had just put on summer vacation.

On July 4 , a drowning accident occurred in Pu'an County, Guizhou Province. A total of four pupils died.

On July 5th , two 12 -year-old boys from Weifang City, Shandong Province, drowned in water.

Summer parents face child care challenges

Li Rong is a teacher at a middle school in Beijing. Half a month ago, her son “graduated” from kindergarten. Because the husband and wife both went to work to care for children, she had to take her son back to her hometown on weekends.

As the national primary and secondary schools welcome the summer vacation, there are many parents like Li Rong who are worried that they cannot care for their children and lead to security problems.

Zhang Ying, who lives in the Chaoyang District of Beijing, sent the son of the third grade primary school to an interest class for the safety of his children during the summer vacation. Here, Zhang Ying's son has spent two summer vacations.

For this phenomenon, Fu Changbo, director of the Research Center for Social Governance and Public Communication of Beijing Normal University, said that every summer vacation, many parents face a very real problem, which is how the child cares at home. In practice, due to lack of good care, some local and rural children go out to play and summer vacation accidents such as drowning should cause a great deal of concern in the society.

Holidays are mainly carried out by the family

Every winter and summer vacations, Zhang Ying is considering how to look at children. In fact, most parents face the same problems as him. For families with good economic conditions, parents choose to bring their children out to play, or report a few summer camps to their children.

According to Zhi Zhenfeng, an associate researcher at the Institute of Legal Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, we must first clarify that when we pay attention to this issue, during the summer vacation, the children leave school and return home. The family is mainly responsible for guardianship. Government departments and schools do not Responsibility for caregiving.

In the eyes of Dr. Fu Tian, ​​a teacher at Capital Normal University, the family's responsibility for guardianship is also an obligation imposed by China’s civil law. “Parents should also exercise full custody rights in accordance with the law.”

Fu Tian said that in some countries, most parents are required to fully fulfill their guardianship responsibilities. If there are cases where children under the age of 12 are left unattended at home alone and reported or discovered, social workers and even police officers will investigate; The situation is real and serious. It will deprive parents of custody and send the child to a special child care center.

From a legal perspective, it is necessary to promote the formulation of the Family Education Act, clarify parental guardianship responsibilities and educational responsibilities, and corresponding mandatory and disciplinary measures; help parents understand the importance of family education and learn and master methods of family education; The establishment of professional institutions and personnel for family education, management, guidance and supervision of the implementation of family education, in particular, to take this to define a basic principle, family education is not a private matter of parents, but also a public responsibility.

Encourage communities to provide non-profit care services

Shang Xiaoyuan analyzed that after determining the care responsibility of the primary and middle school students at home during the summer months, this problem can be resolved at different levels.

For families and difficult families whose parents are working and have no relatives or friends to help, can government departments “stretch their hands”?

Government departments do not provide services directly, nor do they encourage the development of profitable market mechanisms. Instead, they encourage non-profit charitable organizations to provide care services for families through various means such as tax deductions and family subsidies.

Fu Changbo believes that for elementary and middle school students who are at home and abroad in the winter and summer vacations, the government departments do not provide care and maintenance services. Instead, they need to seek government departments, families, communities, and enterprises to co-govern and diversify the problems facing families.

In Fu Changbo's view, what the government departments need to do is to introduce mandatory laws and regulations, clarify the guardianship responsibilities of primary and secondary school students during the winter and summer vacations, and formulate public policies that encourage charitable organizations or companies to provide care services. For example, the community is encouraged to set up public welfare organizations to provide care services for elementary and middle school students in the community during winter and summer vacations.

“Non-profit nonprofit organizations are tax-free themselves. When providing care services to ordinary families in the community, even a centralized library receives a nominal fee.” Fu Changbo said that government agencies need to pass some subsidy policies or purchases. The service policy encourages the community to organize non-profit organizations.

In reality, parents may also consider establishing parenting groups in the community to bring their children together, take turns in their parents, and guide children to play together or perform themed activities such as visiting museums and cultural and sports activities.
