"Three major disciplines and eight points of attention" for minors traveling

Based on previous cases, taking into account the physiological and psychological characteristics of minors, and from the perspective of protecting their travel safety, the China Consumers Association specifically emphasizes the "three major disciplines and eight disciplines" for minors traveling. Notice".

1. Three major disciplines

1. Do not travel without adult supervision.

With the development of social economy, the mental development of minors has accelerated, but from a legal perspective, they are still persons with limited capacity for civil conduct. Due to lack of social experience, their self-protection ability is still insufficient. The risks of traveling in groups among minors of the same age are often unpredictable.

2. Never go to unsafe consumption places.

Minors have low self-protection capabilities and poor emergency response capabilities when faced with emergencies. There have been many tragedies involving tramples and casualties at home and abroad due to the inability of the crowd behind to control minors being pushed down. In addition, in outdoor sports such as climbing, minors are often unaware of risks. Once a problem occurs, it is generally difficult to successfully avoid danger due to physical limitations. When traveling, some parents take their children to climb wild mountains, see wild scenery, and experience wild fun. However, these undeveloped scenic spots have great potential risks.

3. Avoid inappropriate consumption items.

During the trip, some guardians of minors think that there will be no problem if they have their own protection, and indiscriminately take their children to see the "world". If some parents take their underage children to commercial dance clubs or bars during travel, these places will have a negative impact on their healthy growth.

Two and eight points of attention

1. Overcome difficulties and take care of relatives.

The first choice is for minors to be cared for by their parents. Grandparents or other elderly people only provide some auxiliary care due to physical reasons.

2. Follow the rules and don’t show off.

When riding a cable car or participating in some "high-risk" entertainment projects, comply with safety precautions and other safety requirements. If it is not appropriate to participate in the project, resolutely do not take chances to prevent accidents.

3. When there is excitement, take care of the children first.

There are often performances and souvenir distribution activities in tourist places, and some emergencies may also occur. At this time, parents must take their children to a safe area first and do not endanger their children by watching the fun.

4. When there are many people, give way first.

When encountering situations such as crowded roads and narrow roads, parents should give way because the potential risks will double. When parents choose travel routes, they should choose scenic spots without bottlenecks.

5. Don’t fight in dining places.

When dining together, parents usually spend a long time chatting and waiting for meals. At this time, minors, especially children, often move around in small areas. Although they are within the sight of parents, they are not safe. Cases such as children knocking over hot soup pots and being scalded while running often happen.

6. Be extra careful when encountering animals.

When encountering animals, you must supervise minors. When visiting animal areas, strictly abide by park regulations or warning signs, even if it seems safe to feed some very docile animals. , children must also be led and supervised by adults.

7. Valuable items must be carried by adults.

When going out to play, some parents want to save trouble and leave valuables to minors to use or carry. For example, some children carry digital cameras around their necks, some hold high-end video cameras, and some parents have nothing but minors carrying travel bags for storing items. This will give criminals more opportunities to take advantage of them, and they may even cause harm to minors in the process of stealing property.

8. When traveling and shopping, choose wisely.

Do not buy potentially dangerous toys and other products. For example, balloons commonly seen in tourist attractions are filled with hydrogen gas by some unscrupulous traders in violation of national bans to save costs. Once exposed to an open flame, they will burn and explode. In addition to products that may cause harm to personal health, there are also some "novel and exciting" products with pornographic or violent implications. Not only should you not buy them, but minors should also avoid them.
