A family in eastern China filed a police report after their two-year-old daughter mysteriously fell to her death from the eighth floor of a residential building. It happened after the toddler was taken to that floor because she was accidentally left behind in a lift by her nanny.

According to the June 14 surveillance footage from Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, the toddler, nicknamed Little Cherry, was left in the lift by her nanny, surnamed Wu. The woman was engrossed in her mobile phone before getting out of the lift and had only pushed the child’s scooter out of the opening doors.

Wu only briefly checked if the little girl was following her and did not realise the toddler had stayed in the lift until it was too late. When the girl let out a cry, Wu tried to use the scooter to stop the lift doors from closing, but she was too late, and the girl was taken to the eighth floor of the building.

There was no surveillance video once the girl got out of the lift. However, the eighth-floor window, only 45 centimetres above the floor, was found open, leading to a theory that the scared little girl accidentally fell out.

According to Chen, Wu did not fully tell him and his wife about the details of the incident, causing them to look for the girl in the wrong places. When they found the girl 30 minutes later, it was too late to save the child.

Wu is currently being held on bail and said she was deeply sorry for the girl’s fall and would accept legal responsibility for it.

With the case still being investigated, Lan Tianbin, a lawyer and partner at the Fadedongheng Law Firm in Jiangsu province, told Jimu News, a mainland media outlet, that the nanny would likely face charges of death by negligence.

So sad! The fear of the child, left alone in the elevator!
While I clearly see what nanny Wu does wrong, she doesn’t hold the girl’s hand when walking out, it is interesting at what time are the doors set to close? It seems that it is minimum, and maybe it contributed to the tragedy.

Right, though after the fact, she allegedly gave false information to police about what happened to the girl, which led them to look in the wrong place and may have prevented them from saving the child's life.
