Video clip of little kids dangerously perched outside high-rise flat viewed 55 million times on Weibo
A woman in central China who made her two young children sit on an air conditioning unit outside their flat on the 23rd floor just to annoy her husband has been condemned online.
Residents of a community in Luoyang, Henan province, heard the cries of a little girl on the morning of October 10 and found her with her brother in the dangerous situation, reported the news website Sohu.
Their mother was sitting on the adjoining windowsill, arguing loudly with her husband and stopping him from approaching the children, according to a viral video shot by a neighbour.
The video shows that the two children were not wearing any protective gear, and the terrified girl was sobbing, while the little boy remained relatively calm.
It is not clear what the couple were rowing about.
A nearby resident reported the incident to the police.
