A nine-month-old baby girl died after falling from a bed in an apartment in Tuen Mun, the New Territories on Wednesday evening.
Police were summoned by a 31-year-old man surnamed Liu after his daughter fell from a double bed in an apartment of Leung Shui House in Leung King Estate, Apple Daily reported.
When his domestic worker found the baby lying unconscious on the floor near the bed in an unconscious state, she immediately informed her employer.
Paramedics arrived and attempted to resuscitate the child, but after being rushed to Tuen Mun Hospital she was pronounced dead.
It was understood that the domestic worker put the baby on the double bed for a sleep at 7pm. She later went to the room and found the girl was on the floor, Oriental Daily reported.
According to a neighbour surnamed Choi, the domestic worker had told her before that the baby would cry whenever she was placed in her own cot.
Police investigating the case concluded that there were no suspicious circumstances, pending the results of an autopsy to confirm cause of death.
The Department of Health advises parents and carers not to leave a baby of any age unsupervised on a diaper changing mat, table, adult bed or sofa. If adults are not free to look after them, babies should only be left in a secure cot or playpen.
The health department also advises that babies should be placed on their backs to sleep. Studies have shown that sleeping on their back is six times safer than sleeping lying on their front, and twice as safe as sleeping lying on their side.
They also recommend against allowing a small child to share a bed with an adult due to the danger of suffocation.
Umiiyak daw pag sa cot nilagay.
Vita Niala new burn? O new born
Vita Niala bk nmn ngdictionary ung word n tinype.ky new burn instead new born,ky lawakan lng ng pang unawa s mga wrong word.ingat po tlg s mga alaga ntn
Aisha Shah wala nman syang binanggit na double deck. ang sbi nya bed
Hayyysssss new burn talaga
Safety first…di bale na mapabayaan ang gawaing bahay basta yong bata safe. Saka napaka unsafe ilagay ang bata sa taas ng bed knowing na malikot yan kahit tulog any moment talagang mahuhulog yan. Kahit maraming trabaho tayo isipin lagi ang kaligtasan ng inaalagaan at ng sarili mismo.
Miranda Lalah Sabal hindi nilinaw ng nag post kasi kung dobol bed yan which is medyo malapad sa single bed kung mahuhulog ang bata d naman siguro mamamtay…malamang dobol deck yan hehehhehe
Kapabayaan ng maid yan..kahit gaano kadami ang trabaho di mo dapat ina alis ang mata sa alaga mo…dahil una sa lahat bata ang titingnan….saka sa panahon ngayun malamng nglalaro yan ng phone nya…haysssttt rip baby….at sana maging lesson na yan sa mga tulad nating dh…
My heart goes to both sides, guys wag masyadong mapanghusga, ke sino may mali wala namang may gusto sa mga pangyayari ,ung mga mga nagluluksa dahil nawalan ng anak, pero e-consider nyo rin kng ano nararamdaman ng kasambahay, for sure baka twice pa sa mga magulang, nasa kanya ang pangangalaga ng bata,malamang,maiimagine nyo kng ano naramdaman nya, kaya ipagpray nyo nlng kng wala kau masabi na maganda…????
Lesson learned po dito is miski anung dami ng work ng maid, number priority is ung buhay ng bata, dapat hinayaan nalang ang ibang chores kesa sa security po ng bata mapagalitan man ng amo atleast primary concern is safety ng bata ang idahilan kesa yan ganyan ang abutin.
Sherry Suliva Taban hehehehe
