- Sichuan, China -
The images that I have posted have been extracted from a video that went viral on social media with several people criticizing the actions of a grandmother.
The woman, Mrs. Tang, dangled her 7-year-old grandchild named Hao Hao from a 50-foot-high balcony of her 5th floor apartment to rescue her cat.
This happened on Sunday, January 5.
The boy, secured by a rope wrapped around his torso, was lowered along the balcony to the fourth floor where the poor kitten was stuck.
Once the brave young hero managed to catch the furbaby, he put him in a bag, and they were both pulled back up safely by a man identified as the boy’s uncle.
In the video voices can be heard in Mandarin which news outlets say belong to outlookers warning the woman that what she was doing was dangerous.
I wonder whether the grandmother asked the tenant on the fourth floor to try and rescue her furbaby before resorting to this option.
I also wonder whether firefighters were called.
