    Just the other day in Naberezhnye Chelny, a one-and-a-half-year-old child leaned on a mosquito net and fell out of a window on the first floor. Fortunately, the baby was still alive. He was admitted to the hospital with hematomas. His condition is being monitored by doctors. It turned out that the boy was being looked after by a seven-year-old sister. The child's mother was also in the apartment.
    The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan warns! Children are very vulnerable to an open window because of their natural curiosity. To avoid an accident involving a child falling out of a window, the following rules must be followed:
When opening the windows in the apartment and ventilating the room, make sure that the child is under supervision.
    During ventilation, open the transoms and vents. If you do open the window, then do not open it more than 10 cm, put limiters for this purpose.
    Do not allow the child to go out on the balcony without an adult.
Never leave a sleeping child alone in the apartment. The baby can wake up and climb to the open window.
Move all furniture, including beds, away from windows. This will help prevent the baby from accidentally hitting the windowsill.
    Do not show the child how the window opens. The later he learns to open the window on his own, the safer his stay in the apartment will be.
