Two toddlers die after slipping from parent’s arms and falling 4 floors in Chinese shopping mall

Not for the faint-hearted. Viewer discretion recommended.

It only takes a moment for your world to shatter. Two parents in Tianjin, China, know this too well after their two toddlers—aged 2-3—plummeted to their death at a shopping mall after slipping from their parent’s arms.

They could only watch in horror

What began as a fun evening at the mall turned into a horrific nightmare. On February 27, 2017, the family decided to enjoy some time at the Joy City mall in the Nankai district. According to the Shanghaiist, one parent was carrying both toddlers, and was standing by the railings on the fourth floor when one child slipped over the railings.

The Sun reports that as the parent attempted to save the falling tot, they lost their grip on the other toddler, who fell as well. They could only watch in horror as the two children plunged four storeys to their death.

As of this writing, it is still unclear whether it was the mother or the father who was holding the toddlers.

A video of the parents crying hysterically over the lifeless bodies of their children has circulated on social media.

WARNING: Disturbing footage.

While some netizens have been quick to criticize the parents for their so-called carelessness, many more have expressed their sympathy. You never think that something like this can happen to you until it does. We hope that these parents find the support they need after this tragedy.

Don't underestimate your surroundings; Be aware of safety hazards

This incident is a reminder for all of us to be careful, to be mindful of our surroundings, and most of all, to hold our little ones close. You can get so comfortable at your favorite mall, your neighborhood playground, or even your own home that you fail to see the safety hazards around you.

Make sure your child doesn't have access to dangerous objects or places where they could hurt themselves. Your child still doesn't have a full grasp on what's safe and what's dangerous, so it is your job as her parent to minimize the dangers in her surroundings. Awareness is key.
