There's the explicitly child-proof sockets that require some stupid action like twisting the plug into them[0] but that's not what I'm talking about. Any new EU socket should come with shutters built in[1] which prevent poking something into a single hole. They only move out of the way if something gets poked into both holes. The shutters are often black, which means that it's basically impossible to see them under normal lighting conditions. Of course there are still plenty of old sockets out in the world which lack these safety features.
