I witnessed this scene in the building adjacent to mine (as shown in photograph) located in Al Taawun area, Sharjah. Two young children were dangerously leaning out of their apartment window.
It was a horrifying scene for me as an accident could have happened at any minute. Despite several warnings from the authorities, people are not taking this situation seriously.
I request the parents or guardians to be careful when it comes to children at all times. Beware of open windows and avoid keeping chairs or tables nearby.
I feel like parents shouldn’t even carry their child close to a window as it may provoke the child to do the same while he or she is alone. Moreover, there should be a way for people to alert the building security if they witness such a scene. Contact numbers should be put up outside each building so that passersby can call in case of emergencies to avoid any mishaps.
