User comments: The responsibility of the lock is big, or is the guardian responsible?

Many netizens believe that in addition to sharing bicycles, security precautions should be taken on their hardware. Parents of minors should also assume responsibility for supervising their own children. Once an accident occurs, lifelong regrets are out of reach.

@Marco loves to eat: The orchard is locked, the thief shackles into the fruit and is poisoned by pesticides. If there is a lock, there is a moral rule. If you pass the moral rule, you will also take the opportunity to die. Do you still need someone to pay?

@网球和土豆: It is said that the lock is too easy to open. If your home is stolen, it is also because your home lock is too low. Do you agree?

@Switzerland: For humanitarian reasons, I think ofo can properly subsidize a small amount of condolences, but this parent should not ask for compensation. In love, the lock of ofo is not an excuse for asking for compensation. Yu Li, ofo is also clearly stipulated that children under the age of 12 can not ride a bicycle. Your parents as children have no minimum care, let the children ride a bicycle. Is this not the fault of the parents? (Source: Huaxi Dushi Bao from Beijing Youth Daily, China Youth Daily, etc.)
