In a recent incident at a residential community in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China, two young children were seen playing outside a balcony, with the video leaving many netizens on edge.
According to Global Times, the video shows both children having climbed to the outside of the balcony. One of them even had both feet hanging in the air, gripping the glass and performing what looked like a pull-up. A neighbor in the opposite building witnessed this and, alarmed, urgently alerted property management.
It is understood that the video was taken on August 7, at a residential community near Beijing West Road in Guiyang, Guizhou Province. The children's apartment was on the 13th floor. 'We didn’t dare delay for even a minute. Contacted property management immediately, and within about two minutes, security and the parents rescued them,' described the witness.
The person who filmed the video said that although they were anxious at the time, they didn’t dare call out loudly to the children, fearing they might startle them and cause an accident. Fortunately, the quick action by property management prevented a tragedy.
On the afternoon of the 10th, a local subdistrict official told reporters that the children's father had gone out for something, leaving no adults at home. The two children climbed out onto the balcony. 'We contacted the parents immediately and got the children back safely. Community committee staff also reminded the parents not to leave children at home alone, or to modify the balcony to prevent children from climbing out.'
