A mother’s reckless decision to place her children on a 23rd-floor air conditioner during a dispute sparks outrage
A distressing incident in central China has drawn significant attention after a woman reportedly placed her two small children on an air conditioning unit outside their 23rd-floor apartment during a dispute with her husband. According to the South China Morning Post, the incident occurred on October 10 in Luoyang, Henan province, where neighbours recorded the children’s cries, resulting in a viral video.
In the video, the children were seen without any safety gear as their mother allegedly blocked their father from reaching them. While the daughter was visibly upset and crying, her brother appeared more composed. The exact cause of the couple’s argument remains unclear, but a concerned neighbour notified the authorities about the situation.
An official from the local Women and Children’s Federation stated, “The firefighting vehicle came, and the children were rescued,” and confirmed that an investigation into the case is underway. The police are also looking into the matter, although it remains unknown whether the mother will face any repercussions.
The video has gone viral, amassing over 55 million views on Weibo, prompting a wave of reactions from the Chinese public. One user expressed outrage, stating, “A mother should protect her children. But she put her children in dire danger. She is not fit to be a mother.”
Another added, “If an accident happens, she will regret it more than anyone else. Why adopt such an extreme measure? Calm down. If you cannot live with him any longer, just divorce him.”
Criticism continued to pour in, with one user declaring, “This woman is insane and horrible! She should receive serious judicial punishment.”
