According to SCMP, recently, a woman in Guangxi, China shared on her personal page that winter is too cold, she is lazy to get out of bed so she hired a delivery person to take her child to school at 6:30 am.
Surprisingly, in the comments section, many people agreed, saying that they had also done this to get their children to school on time while still being able to rest and not having to wake up early.
Another woman in Henan, China, said that because her night shift job was so tiring, she could barely get up early to take her child to school. At that time, the delivery person was a "savior" who solved the problem: "The driver had a great attitude, brought my child to school safely and sent me a video as evidence."
She believes that her house is very close to the school, and the drivers are professionally trained, so she doesn't need to worry too much about safety issues. In addition, the driver is also familiar with the roads and knows many shortcuts, so he can get the children to school on time even in bad weather or traffic jams.
On the other hand, many people express concern about leaving their children in the hands of a complete stranger. Furthermore, drivers under time pressure tend to speed and run red lights, which is extremely dangerous for children in the car.
According to statistics, the delivery fee for a distance of less than 5km in China ranges from 10 to 20 yuan (about 35,000 to 70,000 VND). Many shipping companies recommend that customers should not use this service for items priced over 5,000 yuan (about 17 million VND) because the compensation in case of a risk is limited to 200 yuan (690,000 VND).
It is worth mentioning that the value of a child cannot be converted into money or material things. If there is an accident or a disappearance, will the lazy parents or the driver be held responsible?
On December 27, a delivery company in China issued an official announcement, declaring that it does not provide human transportation services. A company representative said: "Drivers who secretly accept such "orders" are violating company policy and will be disciplined if discovered."
Speaking to Fengmian News, lawyer Zhao Liangshan said that the delivery driver did not have a license to transport passengers, so the activity was illegal. In China, individuals who engage in illegal transportation services can be fined up to 100,000 yuan (about 346 million VND).
In addition, this lawyer also warned: "Children cannot recognize risks or protect themselves, entrusting them to strangers will increase the risk of kidnapping and other crimes."
