Parents urged not to leave children alone at home
The Social Welfare Department today (Wednesday) repeatedly reminds parents not to leave their young children unattended at home to avoid any accidents or tragedies.
"The latest incident in which a five-year-old boy sustained serious burns in a fire in Lei Muk Shue Estate flat last night is really a sad story," a department spokesman said.
The boy is being treated in the Intensive Care Ward of Yan Chai Hospital and his condition is still critical.
"It is advisable for parents to seek help from their neighbours or relatives to look after their children temporarily if they have some urgent appointments at such time of the day," he said.
Members of the public who need help in taking care of their children for a short while during day he can also make use of the occasional child care service. They may call the department's hotline 2343 2255 or the Child Care Centre Advisory Inspectorate at 2836 3114 for enquiries.
"At present, 186 child care centres are providing a total of 573 occasional child care places to assist needy parents," he said, adding that parents having any child care problems could also seek help from the 65 family services centres throughout the territory.
