Chako: Hey Log, I heard that a parent and child fell into the sea in Okinawa and sadly lost their lives… it’s really heartbreaking.
Log: Yeah, it’s truly tragic when accidents happen while people are having fun.
Chako: Why do such things happen when playing in the sea?
Log: The sea is a fun place, but it also has many dangers, so you need to be careful.
Navi: Especially near the cliffs, it can be slippery, and the waves can suddenly get high, so you really have to be cautious.
Chako: Yeah, we need to be more careful. We have to keep an eye on our surroundings when we’re playing!

Admin’s Note

This sad news serves as a reminder for us to reaffirm our awareness of safety. This is especially important for families with children, who need to be cautious when playing near bodies of water like the ocean or rivers. I believe it’s essential to teach clear rules for play to help prevent accidents before they happen. Additionally, being constantly vigilant and observing the surrounding environment can also contribute to accident prevention. I hope that such incidents do not happen again.
