His vital prognosis is not engaged this Saturday evening.

But the state of health of the three-year-old girl remains worrying.

She suffers from a broken head after falling from the second floor of a building on rue Clément-Ader, in the Val-Fourré district of Mantes-la-Jolie.

The accident occurred at the very beginning of the afternoon, after 1 p.m.

While the child was alone in the apartment, she allegedly opened the window and fell over the balcony.

"She would have been given time to go and get another child," said a police source. Apparently she straightened up after falling. Luckily, a youngster who thought she was playing approached and was able to call for help quickly. “Supported by firefighters and Samu, the girl was transported in serious condition to Necker hospital in Paris under motorized escort.

An investigation is opened to determine the exact circumstances of his fall. "We are heading towards the accident, but an accident which should not have taken place because a three-year-old girl should not be left unattended", continues the same source. According to the law, before the age of 6 to 7 years, when the child is not considered mature enough to take care of himself, he must not be left unattended. Otherwise, the parents face up to two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 euros for "evasion of family obligations".

On August 20, an eleven-month-old baby died when he fell from the fifth floor of a building in Versailles.

Both his parents were nevertheless present in the apartment.

Busy cleaning up, they looked away for a few minutes.

Time for the child to get up on the sofa before rocking out the window.
