The Sharjah Police General Command cautioned parents about the perils of engaging unlicensed drivers to transport their children to and from schools. This practice poses significant risks to the lives of their children, as these drivers are unaware of the safety protocols mandated by the competent authorities, thereby jeopardizing the safety of the children.
Following the receipt of a report this afternoon, it was discovered that a child had died inside a car in one of the areas of the Emirate of Sharjah. After investigating the incident, it was determined that one of the parents, who is of Asian nationality, had hired a female driver to transport their children to school. When they arrived, everyone exited the vehicle except for a 7-year-old child. The driver parked the vehicle adjacent to the school and secured it without verifying its vacancy. Accompanied by her spouse, she discovered the lifeless body of the child inside the vehicle as the students were departing.
The Sharjah Police General Command urges parents to utilize the designated school buses for transporting their children. These buses are equipped with comprehensive security and safety measures and are under constant surveillance by the relevant authorities. Alternatively, the guardian personally brings his children to school, demonstrating a strong commitment to ensuring their well-being and ensuring the highest standards of safety.
