HANDOUT A
Who Are Responsible of Childern During Flood?
During raining season, there have been many cases of childrens
deaths due to their life-threatening hobby of bathing in flood. These
children had mistakenly made a decision to have a blast during flood.
Perhaps, this is their way of handling flood.
One of the pivotal reasons that leads to the life-threatening hobby is
the lacking of parents monitoring and interfering of their children
activities. Instead of taking great care of their children especially during
flood, the parents are more occupied with their possessions that are
destroyed by flood. Little so the parents realize that the greatest
possession on Earth is indeed their own flesh and blood.
Likewise, the children have insufficient knowledge about the dangers
of flood. Apart from spreading diseases, flood could also cost their lives.
For example, the act of bathing in flood could simply take their lives away
because the strong current of water could wash away their bodies in a split
second. If the children are aware of this, the chance of them to avoid the
occurrence of this incident is high.
In addition, neighbours play an important role too. They are obliged
to not only watch their own children but the neighbours children too. Some
neighbours have the tendencies to close their eyes on the issue of taking
care of others children. Consequently, the innocent children lives are on
the edge of unpredictable danger that could occur anytime.
In conclusion, everyone must be responsible towards children
especially during flood. Children are unaware of the danger that they may
face when fooling around during flood. Thus, it is the onus of pointing out
the danger is on the shoulder of adults.
