A 5-year-old child, Ö.A., who went to the park in Zonguldak with his mother Rabia A., fell ill after drinking the alcohol left in a bottle by people drinking in the park, thinking it was water. After receiving treatment, Ö.A. was discharged, and his mother Rabia A. went to the police station to file a complaint against those who consumed alcohol in the park and left their bottles behind.
Rabia A. took her child Ö.A. to the Eyüp Yaman Children's Park in the Yeni Siteler neighborhood of Alaplı district during the afternoon hours to play with his friends. In the park, Ö.A. mistook a drink left in a bottle by those who had consumed alcohol at night for water and fell ill.
BLOOD VALUES INCREASED Other children informed Rabia A. about the situation. Noticing the changes in her son's condition, Rabia A. took him to Alaplı State Hospital. It was determined that Ö.A.'s blood values had increased while he was under treatment at the hospital. Rabia A. reported the situation to the police and reacted to those who left the alcohol bottle in the park, causing her child to fall into this situation.
FILED A COMPLAINT Rabia A. filed a complaint with the police, requesting that the authorities take necessary precautions in children's parks to ensure the safety of children.
"WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE SAFE" Rabia A., who requested that the authorities take necessary precautions in children's parks for the safety of children and filed a complaint with the police, said, "I brought my child to this park. My child finds a bottle of alcohol on the table in this park. He thinks it's water and drinks it. Other children come and tell me about this situation. Since Ö.A. drank alcohol, I immediately take my child to the emergency room. I explain the situation. They respond, 'It will be fine.' Then a blood test is done. After 2 hours, the blood values increase. They put him on an IV. When they put the IV, the police come. They ask about the incident. I explain it as it is. The next day, I went to the police station and explained the incident again. The response I received was, 'Where were you?' I tell them that I was in the park. They blame me for this. We want our children to play here more safely. Should I stand behind my child like a shadow? I want the authorities to hear my voice," she said. Ö.A., who said he was scared because of what happened, stated, "I saw the bottle, I drank it. Then we went to the hospital. They put me on an IV, took my blood. Then they discharged me. I won't drink something I don't know again."
