In a distressing incident in Luoyang, Henan Province, China, a woman placed her two young children on an air conditioning unit outside their 23rd-floor apartment following a heated argument with her husband. The children, dangerously exposed without any safety gear, were heard crying by neighbors, who recorded the incident and alerted the authorities. The mother, in anger, reportedly prevented the father from reaching the children.
Local firefighting teams responded and successfully rescued the children. The authorities, including the Women and Children’s Federation, are investigating the incident, but it remains unclear if the mother will face any legal consequences. The video of the event has garnered over 55 million views on the social media platform Weibo, sparking widespread concern.

This incident follows another troubling case in southwestern China earlier this month, where a father was arrested for whipping his two sons with an electric wire after they drew on neighbors’ cars, leaving them with multiple bruises and injuries. Both cases highlight serious issues of child safety and domestic conflict in China.
