At 7 a.m. on February 18, 2024, the highway traffic police in Loudi received an emergency call for help from the Chetianjiang service area of Changzhi Expressway. An 11-year-old boy was accidentally separated from his parents in the service area. The boy recalled that when he returned from going to the toilet, he found that his parents' car was no longer there. Unable to provide his family's *** or license plate number, the police began a search in the service area and called through the radio, but were unable to locate his family immediately.
Then, based on the school information provided by the boy, he contacted the school through an Internet search, and finally contacted the boy's parents. The boy's parents left the service area for more than an hour before realizing that the child was not with them and were preparing to call the police. After receiving **, they explained very gratefully that the whole family had fallen asleep in the car and did not notice that the boy had gotten out of the car. They expressed their heartfelt gratitude for their help and promised to be more attentive in the future.
This incident reminds all parents to always pay attention to the safety of their children when traveling, especially when stopping at rest stops, and make sure that all family members are on board before leaving.
