Three people usually go to school in their hometown and come to Ningbo to sell flowers in summer; The other three are under school age. The school-age children who sold flowers also said that they were studying, but they only sold flowers during the holidays to earn some tuition.

2. The source, income and living security of children selling flowers.

(2) distinctive features

1, the number of children selling flowers and the places selling flowers are relatively fixed. Of the 200 citizens randomly sampled, 93.78% (including teenagers 100) have seen and sold flower girl in Ningbo, which is mainly located in Chenghuang Temple, around Tianyi Square, parks, cinemas and other leisure places. There are more people in places with poor management, and places with strict public security management are basically not involved.

2. Children's activity time of selling flowers is relatively fixed. According to the survey, children's flower selling activities are mostly the time for citizens to go out for leisure and entertainment at night, avoiding the time when the public security, urban management and other law enforcement police forces are more, especially on holidays, and the activities are more rampant. Generally, it starts from 5 pm to 1 1.

3. Generally, the means of selling flowers is mainly persuasion. A few people cling to the past, selling flowers to couples in formal clothes is low and not too tangled, but selling flowers to young couples in casual clothes is high, especially to seemingly honest couples. Mainly targeted at young couples, among the citizens surveyed, 19.77% said that they often encountered forced trading, 54.24% occasionally encountered forced trading, and 27. 12% never encountered forced trading.

4. The places where flowers are hidden are mostly in nearby trees. It is observed that the flowers of children selling flowers are hidden in nearby trees and rockeries, which is relatively secret. Once the city management and security guards pass by, they will hide the flowers in the tree and pretend to be idle, and then continue to sell them after the inspectors leave.

(3) It is harmful.

1, which seriously damages the physical and mental health of teenagers. Family and corresponding social security are indispensable conditions for children's normal physical and mental development. Children who sell flowers make a living by selling flowers and collecting waste products, which is out of the mainstream society. Their physical and mental development and the realization of their rights are worrying. Most of them cannot enjoy compulsory education and planned immunization for minors, and their legitimate rights and interests are not protected. For a long time, their psychology is prone to distortion and form a certain anti-social personality. Their psychological manifestations, such as panic, suspicion, lying, ruthlessness, bullying, etc. It is very dangerous for children's physical and mental development and social invisibility.

2. It is easy to induce social problems such as illegal crimes. Children who sell flowers often buy and sell their legs, chase and fight, and often have disputes with citizens. Moreover, in the process of selling flowers, a few people fight, destroy property and even steal, and factions of flower girls compete for territory and bridge the gap, which are all unstable factors affecting society.

3. Affect citizens' lives and destroy the image of the city. Among the citizens surveyed, 4 1.8 1% said that the phenomenon of selling flower girl had a great impact on urban life, 3 1.5 1% said that it had little impact, and only 3.95% said that it had no impact. Citizens said that Ningbo, as a national civilized city, should try its best to eliminate this disharmony with urban development. 80.23% of the citizens said that the government should deal with this phenomenon and hoped that the relevant departments would strengthen law enforcement and maintain the image of the city.

Second, the main practices

(a) increase the propaganda of relief, and change passive relief into active relief. The municipal civil affairs department and the rescue management station take the initiative to provide face-to-face "zero distance" assistance to street children and flower girls through street persuasion, mobile rescue vehicles and the issuance of rescue cards, and set up rescue signs in major stations, docks and downtown areas to guide them to take the initiative to ask for help.

(two) the establishment of a specialized agency for the rescue and management of street children-Ningbo City Street Children Rescue and Protection Center. Pay attention to the organic combination of rescue and education, make a rescue education plan, carry out rescue education for street children selling flowers, and gradually correct their psychological deviation and bad behavior through education. A protective rescue mechanism for street children has been initially formed, which integrates learning, education, life and entertainment.

(3) Department linkage, * * * to do a good job of saving children selling flowers. The public security and urban management departments are equipped with law enforcement personnel, who patrol the main places every night, and find that children selling flowers are educated and discouraged, and the street children selling flowers are promptly guided to the rescue station to implement protective assistance. With the cooperation of relevant departments, the number of flower girls in our city has been greatly reduced, from about 150 at the beginning to about 50 at present, and initial results have been achieved.

Three. Existing problems and difficulties

(1) The rescue efforts are limited. According to the Administrative Measures for the Relief of Vagrants and Beggars Living Without Urban Life and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Administrative Measures for the Relief of Vagrants and Beggars Living Without Urban Life, the principle of "voluntary relief and free relief" must be implemented for the relief objects in the relief management station, and the civil affairs department can only implement the relief function for flower-selling children without taking compulsory measures. Even if other departments in the city escort to the rescue management station, there are still many legal problems in management. If the courtiers and flower sellers can prove that they are his parents or relatives, and Xiaohua Tong is also confirmed to be his parents or relatives, the rescue station will have to let them take Xiaohua Tong away.

(2) Law enforcement is difficult. It is difficult for public security, urban management and other law enforcement departments to investigate and collect evidence about the illegal phenomenon of soliciting people to instigate children to sell flowers. Moreover, the matchmakers are mostly parents or relatives of children who sell flowers, and there is little coercion. The urban management department once arrested several people who made connections and handed them over to the public security department, but they were released because of insufficient evidence.

(C) Lack of effective integrated management linkage mechanism and long-term management mechanism. Although the public security, urban management, civil affairs and other departments have taken their own actions against the phenomenon of flower selling children, because the phenomenon of flower selling children is a comprehensive social problem, it cannot be solved by one department. At work, they often rebound after centralized rectification, or they are arrested and put back because a certain department has insufficient law enforcement basis. At present, most of the relevant departments focus on centralized rectification in law enforcement management, lacking long-term management mechanism and law enforcement punishment basis.

Four. Countermeasures and suggestions

In view of the above-mentioned problems in the management and rescue of children selling flowers, we believe that the rescue and protection of children selling flowers should focus on the coordinated development of children's physical and mental development and society, adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to prevention and rescue, integrate social resources, treat both the symptoms and root causes, and strive to build a long-term management mechanism for children selling flowers.

(1) increase the punishment for pulling relations. Instructing and manipulating minors to extort strong demands in the name of selling flowers, forcing minors to sell flowers in disguise, restricting their personal freedom, seriously damaging the interests of minors, and should be severely punished by law. According to Article 28 of the Law on the Protection of Minors (1), no organization or individual may employ minors under the age of 16. At the same time, the third paragraph of Article 1 1 of the Compulsory Education Law stipulates that any organization or individual is prohibited from recruiting school-age children and adolescents who should receive compulsory education for employment. Manipulating children to sell flowers is suspected of employing child labor, which is also a serious violation of the "crime of employing child labor in critical labor" added in the criminal law in 2005. Therefore, the public security, urban management, civil affairs, labor and other departments in the population inflow areas should play their respective roles, focus on cracking down on relations, and provide necessary legal aid to children selling flowers through relevant legislation and other means to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

(2) Give full play to the overall function of society and establish a long-term mechanism to help children who sell flowers. Give full play to the functions of the existing Ningbo Minors Coordination Group Office, coordinate various functional departments, establish and implement a working system for relevant departments to jointly control the phenomenon of flower-selling children, and implement comprehensive management between departments and regions. Public security, urban management, industry and commerce, civil affairs, education, the Communist Youth League, women's federations and other departments should do their respective duties, strengthen joint law enforcement, and effectively solve the problem of flower selling children. Law enforcement departments should adopt a long-term strategy in the governance work, not limited to phased rectification, and should constantly increase the crackdown on those behind the scenes who instigate and intimidate children to sell flowers. The urban management department should establish a long-term working mechanism, increase flexible working hours, send more law enforcement personnel, carry out night patrols, and stop one when it finds one and cut off its flower selling channels. Public security departments should increase police force, intensify the investigation and handling of cases, pay attention to evidence collection, dig deep behind the scenes, and severely crack down on illegal acts of kidnapping, forcing children and organizing, using and coercing minors to sell flowers for profit. The industrial and commercial departments should strengthen the management of the flower wholesale market and ask them to strengthen control over some unidentified foreigners or those who have no business qualifications and specialize in buying roses. When special circumstances are found, it is necessary to report to the relevant departments in time and do a good job in source management. Civil affairs departments should do a good job in the construction of rescue management institutions and the establishment of daily operation mechanisms, and increase assistance to children who are coerced to sell flowers. If you find one, save one. Education, the Communist Youth League, women's federations and other departments should strengthen the protection of minors' rights and interests and psychological counseling. It is necessary to carry out targeted psychological counseling and education for children, especially for children of migrant workers and students in schools for children of migrant workers, to eliminate psychological barriers, heal psychological trauma, do a good job in ideological transformation and correct behavioral deviations.

(3) Starting from the place where the flower selling children flow out, we should trace the source. One of the fundamental measures to solve this problem is to vigorously develop the economy in backward areas, increase farmers' income and improve people's living standards in poor areas. Poverty and backwardness are the important reasons for this cancer. Only by solving the problem of poverty can the phenomenon of selling flower girl lose its survival soil. If conditions permit, our city can help flower-selling children pair up, give them economic, cultural and project help, help them develop their economy and education, and fundamentally solve such social problems.

(four) to increase publicity and promote legal education. Newspapers, radio, film and television and other propaganda media should actively publicize the harm of children selling flowers and the shady behind the appearance to the society and the public, correct the deviation of the public's understanding, and appeal to the public not to buy flowers blindly and give alms at will. Especially in the vast rural areas, schools for children of migrant workers and enterprises where migrant workers gather, we should increase publicity. Schools for children of migrant workers should add moral education and legal knowledge education to educate and improve students' ideological quality and legal concept from an early age. Education departments at all levels and * * * Communist Youth League and Women's Federation can, according to their own conditions, take flexible and diverse forms such as holding regular parents' study classes and legal knowledge counseling, effectively incorporate legal education into the education and training system for migrant workers, and enhance their own and their children's willingness to safeguard their rights and interests according to law.
