Special planning for Nanguo Zaobao client

Behind the joy of children's playgrounds, there are unexpected risks hidden, and have these risks attracted enough attention? Recently, a reporter from the Nanguo Morning Post client visited many children’s playgrounds in Nanning City and found that some playgrounds have regulatory loopholes, and there are also many parents who are addicted to their mobile phones and neglect their supervision.

In the children's playground, there are many parents looking down at their mobile phones.

"Admission Notice" for playgrounds

Most of them are disclaimers

On October 24, dozens of children were playing happily in the naughty castle of Wanda Baby King Playground in Anji Wanda Plaza, Gaoxin Avenue, Nanning City. The Nanguo Morning Post client reporter saw that safety reminders such as "Please take care of your children" and "Do not run and jump" were posted in many places in the naughty castle; on the "entry notice" at the entrance of the naughty castle, write There are 15 precautions, including "children under the age of 2 are not allowed to enter the venue alone", "do not bring sharp objects", etc., among which article 14 stipulates: "Anyone who violates the above regulations and causes injury to himself or others will be borne by the responsible party. , The site is not responsible for accidents not caused by the quality of the facilities."

In the Qileer Children's Theme Park in Datang Tiancheng Shopping Center on Beihu Road in Nanning City and the Wonderful Park in Wuyue Plaza on Jinchuan Road, parents must sign an agreement with the park before their children enter the park to ensure that parents can play with their children Undertake the responsibility of guardianship and escort, among which the agreement of the Wonderful Paradise states: "The children's paradise has nothing to do with any damage caused by the absence of parents or ineffective parental supervision."

A staff member of the park told the client reporter of Nanguo Zaobao that this is to ensure the safety of every child playing: "There are not enough people in the playground, it is impossible to take care of one-on-one, only parents can rely on Be careful. If you don’t sign this agreement, the parents’ safety awareness will not improve. In case of an accident, the two parties will easily get confused.”

In the Great Paradise of Datang Tiancheng, the "Instructions for Admission" on the wall reads: This venue is suitable for children aged 2 to 12. But the staff told the Nanguo Zaobao client reporter that the "admission instructions" are uniformly prepared by the mall, and children under 2 years old can also play.

A reporter from the Nanguo Zaobao client visited and found that there are no staff in the play areas of many playgrounds. A parent said that the parents are not familiar with the venues, and the parents are not very clear about the harm caused by improper use of the facilities in the amusement park. This requires the guidance of the staff. Irresponsible” to shirk responsibility.

Loosely managed outdoor playgrounds

Mostly missing security reminders

Compared with indoor playgrounds located in shopping malls, some outdoor small playgrounds are more loosely managed.

Ms. Huang, a citizen of Nanning, said that not long ago, she took her 1-year-old and 9-month-old son to the open-air playground of Dongkai International Commercial Plaza on Luban Road to play. She asked the toll collector if children over one year old could go in, and the other party said yes, and walked away after collecting the money. Ms. Huang saw that the entrance of the bouncy castle was a hole with a diameter of tens of centimeters, so she thought it was not suitable for parents to enter, so she guarded outside. "As soon as my son entered, he was pushed back and forth by a dozen older children jumping around inside, and he couldn't even stand upright. The situation was very dangerous at the time. I saw that the situation was wrong, so I quickly crawled in and hugged the child. out."

On October 23, a reporter from the Nanguo Zaobao client came to Dongkai International Commercial Plaza and saw that there were slides, ocean balls, trampolines and many other recreational facilities in the square, but did not see the corresponding safety reminders. There is a "No Smoking Here" sign, but there are still two people smoking next to it. In the trampoline area, two six or seven-year-old boys were bouncing vigorously, and a one-year-old toddler was thrown at the boy's feet. After being reminded by the reporter, the parents of the toddler hurried forward and carried the child out. The parent said that it is generally stipulated in playgrounds that children can only enter the trampoline area when they are 3 years old, but there is no reminder here.

In Huacheng City Plaza on Xinyuan Road, Nanning City, a reporter from the Nanguo Zaobao client saw the safety notice on the bouncy castle, which only stated: This product is only for children under 25 kilograms to play. At that time, two seven or eight-year-old children were playing inside, while their parents were staring at their mobile phones outside.

Guardian ignores reminder

"head bowing" is very common

Nanguo Zaobao client reporter found that most playgrounds will remind parents to take good care of their children. However, some parents are not aware of safety. Parents of the "head-lowering family" are very common in major playgrounds. The reporter can find several parents looking at their mobile phones in the camera.

A parent sat in the ocean ball and looked at his mobile phone, and the child was out of his sight.

On the afternoon of October 24th, in the Fundudu Dinosaur Adventure Playground in the atrium of Anji Wanda Plaza, hundreds of parents and children were playing, and the playground reminded the children to be within the sight of the parents. A parent hid in an unoccupied corner behind a slide in the venue, half buried in the ocean ball and playing with his mobile phone. In the amusement tunnel above this parent, there is another parent hiding from looking at his mobile phone.

There are also parents who bring their work to the playground. Outside the fence of Wuyue Plaza, the Nanguo Morning Post client reporter saw a mother turn on her laptop and focus on doing PPT. Coincidentally, a mother next to her also took out the report form from the file bag, copied it while looking at her mobile phone, and occasionally raised her head to look at the children playing in the playground. She told reporters she was "too lazy to go in" as her eldest child, 8, was playing with her second child, 3.

It's not just children who are naughty, some parents also lack safety awareness and make dangerous moves in the playground. In the wonderland, a warning sign above a slide tens of meters long states that the slide is only suitable for children aged 3 to 12, and "it is forbidden to play with children on the slide." However, there was still a parent who slid down the slide with his two-year-old daughter in his arms.

On the revolving chair in Datang Tiancheng Dada Park, there is a warning posted: "The revolving chair cannot be pedaled to speed up. Please remind your children to pay attention to safety when playing." However, a parent pulled up the rope and ran Speeding up the rotating chairlift, I didn't notice that there was a little girl next to me who was holding on to the rope, and I didn't have time to get on the chairlift. After the little girl lost control and fell to the ground, the parent dragged the sling to slow down the device. After that, the parent accelerated the chairlift several times, and the children on the chairlift screamed. The staff of the park witnessed the whole process, but did not stop it.
