Parents Leave A Baby Inside The Pool Shower Locker While They Bathe

#1 The video shows the staff member was shocked to see that the parents left their baby inside the pool locker.

#2 The pool staff assisted the mother in opening the locker.

#3 According to Chinese website Kan Kan News:

It's suggested that the couple had left their toddler in the locker because they did not want to look after the child while they bathed.

#4 It remains unclear if the child is a boy or a girl, or how long the child had been left in the locker.

#5 However, according to the report, though the child was crying when it was freed from the locker, it did not show any symptoms of suffocation.

#6 The mother and a man, assumed to be her husband, are with four other kids while they were trying to open the locker.

When the mother had a difficult time opening the locker, she asked the help of the bathroom staff member.

#7 After being uploaded onto the Chinese social media platforms, the video has sparked an outrage.

#8 One user commented:

'The child looked powerless when it was pulled out. How scared the child must have been after being left in such a dark and small space.'

Another user said: 'How careless could the parents be? The child is not an object. If it's not convenient, then don't go to take the bath.'

#9 Many people were angered by the actions of the parents, saying they were ‘careless’ and ‘irresponsible’.

#10 Infants are prone to suffocation even in their sleep.

Babies who are less than one year old are particularly vulnerable to suffer from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) during their sleep.

#11 Leaving a baby inside a confined area with little air could heighten the risk of suffocation and even death.

#12 During the summer season, on the other hand, leaving a child inside a confined space may cause heat stroke, which is also potentially-fatal.
