Miracles in Meidling: Four -year -old survives fall from five meters!

A four -year -old boy from Afghanistan has survived a severe fall from the fifth floor in Vienna Meidling. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon, when the child, together with his two siblings aged nine and twelve, was temporarily at home. The 45-year-old mother had a visit to the doctor with another daughter when the tragic fall.

Fortunately, after the fall, the boy fell on a wooden table on a terrace, which cushioned the impact and enabled him to survive. According to reports from Exxpress.at mainly suffered abrasions and bruises. Rescue workers were quickly on hand and called a rescue helicopter, which was ultimately not needed. Instead, the child was taken to the hospital with a emergency car.

Investigations and supervisory duty

The police initiated an investigation against the boy's parents after the suspicion was suspected that the mother could have violated her supervisory duties. She left her children alone for a short time, which in this tragic case had serious consequences. This raises questions about safety and the requirements for the supervision of small children.

falls are one of the most common causes of accidents in children of all ages, especially for small children and infants. Every year, around 125,000 children under the age of five have to go to the doctor's office due to fall injuries. Typical causes of falls are, for example: for infants, falling from the changing table, and for toddlers the fall when climbing stairs. This information comes from Kindersicherheit.de .

children are often inexperienced in their movement and it is important that they have different movement experiences in order to develop a feeling of security and better reaction in dangerous situations. These aspects are particularly relevant in the supervision of small children, as the case in Vienna illustrates.

In view of the tragedy of this incident, it is crucial that parents are informed about the dangers and necessary safety precautions in order to avoid similar accidents in the future.
