Property liability of children falling from windows

A three-year-old girl followed her grandmother to visit her great-grandmother. After that, the girl and her great-grandmother took the elevator together. The girl advanced to the elevator, but her great-grandmother was slow to respond and couldn't keep up with the girl. The elevator door was closed and the girl was left alone in the elevator.

After the elevator door was closed, the girl looked scared, pressed the elevator button at random and jumped in the elevator. She also grabbed the elevator door with her hand. Afterwards, according to the surveillance video, the girls went to the fourth and eighth floors respectively. In the process of looking for her family on the eighth floor, she fell from the stairwell window on the eighth floor and died on the spot. According to the police investigation, the girl fell from the stairwell window on the eighth floor.

Afterwards, family members believed that in addition to improper supervision by guardians, property and developers should also bear certain responsibilities. Family members believe that the window sill of the incident is designed too low, which is easy to arouse the vigilance of children who have no awareness of prevention. It is the negligence of the property that no protective facilities are installed outside the window sill of the high floor. According to China's residential design code, when the clear height of the window sill is less than 0.9 meters from the ground, the external windows of public parts such as stairwells and elevator halls must be protected.

In addition, it is clearly pointed out in the "Regulations on Property Management" that if there are potential safety hazards in the property, the responsible person shall carry out maintenance in time. Children's awareness of self-protection is very weak, and children falling from buildings is not a case. Property and security personnel should really do their due responsibilities and obligations.

Therefore, whether the property should bear the responsibility lies in whether the height of the window sill of the stairwell on the eighth floor is greater than 0.9 meters from the ground, and whether it is necessary to install protective devices. Of course, parents should also reflect on themselves and let the elderly with mobility difficulties take care of their children. There are certain risks in itself. The child entered the elevator alone, and the guardian failed to handle it properly in time, causing the little girl to climb out of the window alone and die.
