Another one said: “We have all turned our backs for 2 mins sure. But in an apartment and you were taking a shower surely you would be extra secure with locks on doors and windows due to the obvious added danger.”

But other people said nobody knows the true situation of the incident, one said: “How does anybody know there were 2 parents there. I’m sure the parent/parents thought the window/door was closed. Whilst this could of been very tragic, let’s not judge unless we know the whole story and just be glad the little one is OK.”
