Mother catches toddler after child slips through opening in indoor climbing frame in Jiangsu, China

On October 30, 2026, in Jiangsu, China, a security camera captured a frightening close call involving a young child at home. In the video, a mother is seated on the sofa with one child on her lap while her younger child plays on an indoor climbing frame with a roller slide. As the younger child shifts position and begins slipping backward through a square opening in the structure, the mother notices and immediately jumps up to intervene. The child suddenly falls, but the mother manages to catch and support the child's head. The little one begins crying after the fall, and the mother quickly comforts the child. According to the parent, she had considered taking the child on her lap to another room to change her diaper but decided to do it in the living room instead so she could keep an eye on her younger child playing nearby. She was grateful to have prevented a more serious accident and said the opening was sealed afterward. She also explained that when her mother-in-law is cooking and she needs to supervise both children, she will make sure to stay closer to the younger one.
