Parents, Look Away – Toddler Filmed Walking Along 4th Floor Ledge [Video]

There's nothing more terrifying than turning your back for one second and losing your toddler - except maybe finding them on the ledge of a building.

Speak to any parent, and I’m sure they’ll have at least one story about the time that their kid wandered off, leaving them in a state of unimaginable panic.

For parents in Playa Paraiso, on the southwest coast of the largest of the Canary Islands, leaving their toddler alone while they took a quick shower had potentially deadly consequences.

According to Sky News, a tourist was walking past a hotel when they spotted a small human running back and forth on a ledge. She filmed the child while her father ran into the building to look for help.

Look at the little person go:

You’ll be happy to know that the kid is okay and eventually made its way back through the window that it initially used for its escape.

I reckon the parents will be keeping the windows closed from now on.
