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.
