Recently, many spontaneous entertainment venues and game service business areas for children have appeared in the province. These entertainment venues have met the entertainment needs of children during summer vacations, weekends and holidays. However, ensuring the safety of children in many entertainment venues has not been given due attention, thus posing many potential safety risks.
Sand and gravel games can become harmful foreign objects when they get stuck in the respiratory tract or shot into the ears of young children while playing.
Walking around Viet Tri city, you can see many indoor children's entertainment service businesses with popular games such as: Swing, ball house, bouncy house, slide, sand shovel... Investors of the entertainment areas all exploit the maximum area to integrate many games, so some places are quite cramped, easily causing collisions during the playing process. Most entertainment places only arrange staff to check tickets but do not perform the task of supervising and guiding children to play to detect and prevent unsafe behaviors of toy users and especially to perform rescue when there are unexpected situations. Besides, many games are only suitable for young people, but many entertainment places do not regulate or limit the age of play, many preschool children have collided and fallen while playing.
Electric 3-wheel drift cars are loved by many children because they are easy to control, fast speed but have many potential dangers.
The game of shoveling sand, gravel or playing with white foam beads pretending to be snow, Cassia seeds often attracts the interest of young children because it is easy to play and comes with toys such as excavators, trucks... Although this is a game only for children 3 years old and up, many parents still let their children under 3 years old play. When children play with and throw small pebbles without being warned by the manager or caretaker of the play area, they can become harmful foreign objects when stuck in the respiratory tract or shot into the ear; sand can fly into the eyes or respiratory tract of children.
At outdoor entertainment venues, typically Hung Vuong Square, Viet Tri City in the afternoon and evening, there are nearly 10 places offering various types of entertainment services, such as: Renting mini motorbikes, electric cars, 3-wheeled electric drift cars, roller skates, self-balancing electric cars... with many eye-catching shapes and colors. The rental price for each car is from 30-50 thousand VND depending on the type of car for 30 minutes of play. Some of these electric cars are small, compact, easy to control, but quite fast. However, not only teenagers use the service, even children aged 3-8 years old are rented cars by their parents to play without foreseeing the dangers that always lurk.
Ms. Ho Quynh Mai, Tien Cat Ward, Viet Tri City said: “During summer vacation, my children often stay at home watching TV and playing on their phones, so I want to take them outside to play. In the square, I saw many games for children, so I also took my children here to play, but I saw children driving electric cars at very high speeds. Some children crashed into each other, causing scratches on their legs and arms, which is very worrying.”
According to the reporter's investigation, most of the outdoor entertainment service businesses in Hung Vuong Square are spontaneous and unregulated. Even though the indoor entertainment areas are licensed to operate, no one knows whether the games in the entertainment areas are safe or not. In addition, the origin of the toys and whether they are allowed to circulate or not are not controlled.
At outdoor entertainment venues in Hung Vuong Square, Viet Tri City, there are nearly 10 entertainment service businesses but there is no management agency.
It can be seen that the management of children's entertainment venues in Viet Tri city currently has many shortcomings. Faced with the reality of the risk of unsafety from toys and entertainment venues for children as they are today. The city's functional sectors need to strengthen inspections, especially spontaneous outdoor entertainment venues to promptly remove unsafe equipment and toys; inspect entertainment venues with old, degraded, unsafe toys, to avoid unnecessary accidents that may happen to children.
