It’s never the fall that kills ya...
Poor kid. What a lousy way to go. :(
So sad. Wish I could have caught her. :(
I have seen fairly young children wander around cruise ships by themselves.....
Today at a movie theater bathroom were two 4 or 5 years old....one climbing on to the sink
I thought the mom must be there....
...nope....a cousin was somewhere.....outside they said
If someone had kidnapped them no one would ever know
I looked for the cousin.....nope, and the little girls vanished
Considering how rare these events are, I’m convinced that there’s more to the story regarding the parents. Hopefully we’ll find out. Kids just don’t fall off balconies on cruise ships every day.
What led to the girl falling from the 2nd story window?
Gravity.
Well - I have no idea what happened - and having seen those balconies up close and personal, it wasn’t a simple matter of an 8 year old just falling over the balcony railing. It is too tall unless she was 12+ feet tall and just stepped over the 3 foot+ tall railing.
I hate to speculate, but I sure try to imagine HOW such an accident could happen -and it comes back again to the most common issue - total failure to supervise children (and some children need more supervision than others).
This is sad.
Soooo sad. My guess is that she was playing on the railing. My daughter will jump to railings and hold herself up on them with straight arms like on a gymnastics bar. So I told her this story. Heartbreaking. Prayers for the family.
“What led to the girl falling from the second-story atrium...”
Gravity suspected?
