18.7.2025 | During the summer of 2025, the police have received several cases for investigation, in which a child who has gone into water has been in danger of death or died in the water. The police emphasise that it is the parents’ responsibility to take care of their children. Small children and especially children who cannot swim must be looked after constantly, and water safety equipment in accordance with the law must be provided, such as life jackets when boating.https://poliisi.fi/en/-/parents-are-responsible-for-taking-care-of-their-children-at-swimming-areas
