Toddler falls from high chair while unattended in Guangdong, China

On October 15, 2026, in Guangdong, China, a security video captured an accident involving a toddler falling from a high chair. In the video, the child is sitting in the chair and gradually begins standing up, seemingly trying to get down while no adult is nearby. The toddler then loses balance and falls to the floor. An adult soon enters the scene and picks up the crying child. According to the author, the child is a little over a year old and has fallen four times this year. The author expressed frustration and worry, questioning whether her husband and mother-in-law were being sufficiently careful while caring for the baby. She explained that both she and her husband work during the day, their older child attends kindergarten, and the grandmother looks after the younger child. She had previously cared for her first child herself and only asked her mother-in-law to help after the second child was born.
