47 Keeping the lights on at night not only serves as a deterrent, but also allows the patrol officers to see the situation inside the store clearly.

This may be a sign that the child is infected with bad vices.

60 If you find that your child has contracted bad habits or other negative tendencies, do not punish or spit on them. Instead, try to help them return to a normal and healthy life.

61 Children should try to go out together with their classmates as much as possible, and let their parents know their whereabouts and keep in touch.

VII Fire safety

62 If a fire is detected, quickly call the fire alarm number. The public security fire department does not charge money for firefighting, reports to the public security fire department early, and incurs minimal losses. After a fire occurs, every citizen has the obligation to call the public security fire department. When reporting an alarm, it is necessary to clearly state the name and address of the building on fire, the object on fire, the name and phone number of the person reporting the incident. After the alarm, send someone to the door or intersection to wait for the fire truck.

67 If the body catches fire, you can roll on the spot or cover it with heavy clothing to extinguish the fire.

68 Surrounded by fire, smoke prevention is crucial, and the victims of the fire are mostly suffocated by thick smoke. Block the door gap with damp bedding, clothing, etc. to prevent smoke from entering, and continuously pour water to cool down.

69 Wet your whole body, wrap your body with a damp cotton quilt or clothing, cover your mouth and nose with a damp towel, and rush out of the fire. Bend down and walk close to the ground to breathe the unpolluted air.

70 The floor is not high, when you have to jump off the building to escape: select the soft objects such as mattresses, cotton tires, sofas, etc. and throw them downstairs, and then aim to jump off. Be sure to land with your feet first when jumping off a building. It is best to find ropes, curtains or sheets torn into strips and connected to ropes tied to the door frame, swing to neighboring buildings or slide down to escape.

VIII Seeking help and defense in case of emergency

71 After a credit card is stolen, it is important to notify the credit card company as soon as possible.

76 Making a report call may seem like a piece of cake to you, but it can help the police bring criminals to justice, combat crime, protect society, and also increase your safety.
