Police are urging parents to be especially careful and responsible, as an open window can become a fatal trap for a child.
To avoid tragedy, remember these simple but vital rules:
Never play with a child on a windowsill or let them sit on it.
Install window locks – special safety devices that prevent a child from opening them on their own.
Do not place furniture near windows so that the child cannot climb onto them.
A mosquito net is not protection! It cannot support the weight of a child and can create a false sense of security.
Open windows in ventilation mode or in a vertical position.
Talk to children about the dangers, and also teach older children to supervise younger ones.
Always close the windows when leaving a room, even if it's just for a few minutes.
Dear parents, the safety of your children is in your hands. Don't ignore simple measures that can save lives.
