On March 26th local time, the White House once again experienced a "security breach". A child crossed the security fence and entered the White House lawn area, and was subsequently escorted out by a US Secret Service employee without any accidents. 鈥�

The United States Secret Service issued a statement regarding this matter, stating that just after 6:30 pm on Wednesday (26th), uniformed Secret Service employees discovered a child crossing the north fence of the White House. The officers quickly acted and returned the child to his parents. NBC stated in its report that this security vulnerability is unlikely to trigger congressional investigation and discussion. 鈥�

It is worth noting that this is not the first time the White House has exposed security issues due to child intrusion. On April 18, 2023, a toddler who was learning to walk climbed over the metal fence on the north side of the White House and entered the White House area, triggering a security alert. Secret Service agents were quickly deployed, and during the handling of the incident, the White House complex was temporarily blocked. Afterwards, the child was sent back to his parents. Even earlier, in 2014, a toddler climbed over a fence and entered the White House, causing President Obama's speech to the nation to be postponed. 鈥�

The multiple incidents of child intrusion indicate that although the Secret Service is able to handle crises in a timely manner, there may still be urgent issues to be addressed in the White House security system in terms of physical defense, real-time monitoring, and early warning. Whether the future security of the White House can learn from lessons, further improve security mechanisms, and avoid similar incidents from happening again is worth continuous attention. 鈥�
