Another vulnerable group is the food safety hazard in public places. In public places such as malls, libraries, gymnasiums, etc., many people leave their water cups and food behind and leave their seats without taking them away, thus giving them an opportunity for others to use. Even if only a few minutes away, someone may take the opportunity to add something to the glass, especially single women and those travelling alone, who are more likely to be targeted by outlaws. In addition, there is a risk of poisoning, drugting, such as common ecstasy, often secretly added to a drink by outlaws, by entering a meeting of strangers, a bar, drinking the beverages handed over by others and eating snacks from others。
There are even unwitting “intoxication”, such as the random placement of toxic substances such as pesticides and rat medicine in kitchens and living rooms, or the random mixing of different foods and medicines to produce toxic and harmful substances, which, although not subjectively intended, may eventually cause bodily harm, which also requires constant vigilance and prevention。
When it is discovered that they may be poisoned or that there are symptoms of suspected poisoning in the body, the first-time correct treatment not only minimizes physical harm, but also preserves key evidence for subsequent legal accountability, the core operation of which must be kept in mind and saves lives at critical times。
First, in the event of physical discomfort for unknown reasons, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, incapacitation, and in the event of a recent food, drink or conflict with a stranger, it is essential that the first time a suspicion is made of poisoning, that the consumption of suspicious foods, be stopped immediately and that the harmful substances are kept away from them。
Secondly, stay calm and keep as much evidence as possible. The fact that no suspicious water cups, dishes, food residues are being cleaned at will, and that no package, small tickets are being discarded, is a key proof that he has been poisoned; that, if he is in a public place, he immediately looks at the surrounding surveillance cameras, calls the staff in time for help and keeps the surveillance video; and that he records his diet, contacts and leads the police investigation。
The first call was then made to the emergency telephone number 120, which described the symptoms and suspected poisoning, to visit the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment, to provide the doctor with details and to cooperate with the doctor in the treatment of gastrics, detoxification, etc., without delay, in order to prevent the spread of harmful substances in the body and to cause more serious bodily harm。
Finally, while attending medical treatment, a call was made to the 110 police, to provide the police with a detailed account of the case, to provide evidence and clues that they had retained, to cooperate with the police investigation and to bring the perpetrators to justice. Do not choose to remain silent for fear of trouble or for fear of revenge from the other side. Disgracement only increases impunity for perpetrators, and only by taking up legal weapons can they protect their legitimate rights and interests。
At the legal level, poisoning is not a simple civil dispute, but a criminal offence of an extremely serious nature, and our penal code provides for clear and severe penalties for poisoning at the expense of the perpetrators。
In accordance with article 114 of the criminal law of the people's republic of china, anyone who sets fire, throws water, explodes and throws substances such as toxic, radioactive, infectious disease pathogens or other dangerous methods that endanger public safety shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of three to ten years. If the act of poisoning is directed at a particular individual but may endanger the safety of an unspecified majority, such as in public foods in restaurants, it is a danger to public safety and incurs serious criminal liability, even if there are no casualties。
Article 115 of the penal code provides for a term of imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or the death penalty for the release of toxic, radioactive, infectious or other dangerous substances or for causing serious injury, death or substantial damage to public or private property. In the event of negligence, the penalty shall be imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years and not exceeding seven years; in less serious cases, the penalty shall be imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or detention. In other words, even if it is the fault that leads to poisoning, such as the placement of toxic substances at random, which leads to the child's being mistreated, the corresponding legal liability is incurred。
In addition to this, the perpetrator is liable not only for criminal but also for civil liability. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the civil code, compensation for reasonable expenses incurred for treatment and rehabilitation, such as medical, nursing, transportation, nutrition, inpatient feeding and other expenses, as well as reduced income due to lost work, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the code. Compensation should also be paid for the cost of assistive devices and for disability; in the event of death, for funeral expenses and death. In short, the perpetrators must not only go to prison, but also compensate the victims for all their economic losses, paying a double price for their actions。
It is worth noting that many people mistakenly believe that only the addition of highly toxic substances is a form of poisoning, which is not the case, as long as the intentional addition of harmful substances to other people's food, drinks, even if they are merely laxatives, sleeping pills, etc., and if they cause harm to another person's body, they are equally liable for the poisoning. Even if no serious bodily harm had been caused, as long as the poisoning had been committed, it had already constituted a criminal offence, and it was inevitable that the punishment of the perpetrators would be severe。
In order to avoid the risk of poisoning at its root, it is essential to ensure that daily precautions are taken, that security awareness is raised and that the danger is suffocated in the cradle, a simple and operational method of prevention that everyone needs to integrate into life。
First, the basic vigilance of acquaintances is not to easily drink the beverages handed over by others, to eat the snacks given by others, even relatives, friends, and to drink freely after the openings in their homes and cars; to resolve disputes with others in a peaceful and legal manner, without exacerbating them, while at the same time taking note of the emotional changes of the other party and preventing extreme behaviour by the other party。
Second, when you go out to watch your food and drink, in public places, water cups, foods, and when you leave your seat, do not drink an open drink when you come to a party or a bar, and do not accept a drink from a stranger, even if the other person helps, to make sure that the cup is not unusual, preferably by pouring it or opening it。
Furthermore, care is taken to store toxic substances in the home, to place pesticides, rat poisons, disinfectants, cleaners, etc., where the children cannot reach them, and to make clear identifications, not to mix them with food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, and food that can produce harmful substances, such as tomatoes and crabs, honey and onion, to avoid intoxication without heart failure。
In addition, regular restaurants and food merchants are selected, restaurants with business licences and sanitary permits are selected for meals, and not roadside stalls and small workshops without qualifications; regular electric platform and brand vendors are selected for food and snacks on the internet to look at the date of production of the product, the shelf period and the table of ingredients, and to avoid the purchase of three no products。
Finally, more information is available on safety and law, on common toxic and harmful substances, symptoms of poisoning and emergency response methods, on legal provisions, on how to defend rights in case of poisoning and on how to hold perpetrators accountable. At the same time, safety awareness is provided to families and children, so that the whole family is aware of the safety of the family。
The security risks in life are often hidden in our negligence and care, and “smoke” seems to be far from us, and may be in between thoughts and movements. We do not have to panic too much, but we must be vigilant, raise security awareness and take day-to-day precautions. At the same time, it is important to be aware of the use of legal weapons to protect itself and to ensure that, in the event of any act of poisoning, there is no tolerance, no refusal, that the police are promptly informed, and that the perpetrators are brought to justice。
A little more knowledge of the law, a little more safety, and a little more security awareness, a little less danger. In this complex society, protecting the lives of ourselves and our families is a compulsory lesson for each of us. It was to be hoped that everyone would be aware of the risks of poisoning, acquire knowledge of preventive methods and laws, keep themselves and their families safe from danger and live, work and learn in a safe environment. Bearing in mind that vigilance is not an expression of fear, but of responsibility towards themselves and their families, and that it is only by understanding the law, abiding by the law and using it that they can truly protect their security and legitimate interests。
