“Do not move, little kid! Do not move, little kid! You do not move,” yelled policemen to the toddler perched precariously on the curved metal railing on a balcony sill. Five storeys below, about nine neighbors spread out and held tightly to three comforters, preparing for the inevitable.

At about mid-afternoon on Mar. 8 in the Dongguan district of Guangdong Province, south China, the grandmother of the toddler—a one-year-old boy—found herself locked out of the balcony where they were playing, according to Southern China Daily.
