I especially want to turn to my parents. During the winter holidays, children will often stay at home alone. Tell them and remind them of their safety rules. Explain that playing on ice is dangerous. That you should be especially careful during icy conditions and not be distracted by phones. And in no case should you pick up other people's, abandoned things on the street.
