I have nothing but sympathy for her loss but what can the authorities do to stop people falling out of windows? Surely at some point people must take some responsibility for themselves.

Maybe make it a legal requirement that high level floor windows get bars preventing exit ? Seems a basic safety measure.

Perhaps railings to cover half the windows? Or if to costly, and if its social housing then a couple of bars or planks across to stop the falling.

Given that one of the children that died was 5 years old, how can they take responsibility for themselves?

Compulsory window limiters on all upper storey windows.

I've got them on my upstairs windows, they can be released in an emergency.

Window locks or window jammers work well.

The child cant but the parent can.

Buy some locks for the window.

So sad this has happened, I suspect she is just lashing out which is understandable.

If the "authorities" demanded (costly) protective measures by law, she would then be likely to start moaning about the Nanny State.

People bang on and on about their Rights, but pay little heed to their Responsibilities.

"The child cant but the parent can."

 

True, but how many children do you know of who chose to have parents who wouldn't make the right choice ?  That's the sort of thing we have H&S laws for.

Window locks spring to mind. If said 14 year old
