ORIGINAL: tj444 Of course you expect responsible parents to grill the windows in their home (assuming that a landlord would allow family renters to do that).. what a stupid thing to do and in many places/cities putting grilles on the windows is illegal due to the fact that grilles cut off a way to escape in the case of an emergency, such as a home invasion or (more likely) a fire.. a person or child might have only seconds to escape a fire, especially due to the fact that today's homes have so many flammable materials allowing a fire to sweep thru extremely fast.. So your idea of what a responsible parent should do could endanger or kill the kid(s) instead... Its also dangerous for the firefighters who might get trapped inside the burning building as well, btw.. Good going there Greta.. I am surprise grills are illegal in some places. The kinda grills we have, easily open and close. Fire fighters will have no problem. But it wouldn't be easy for children to open. Gosh what kinda inflexible grills do they have over there? Modern design is so advance. Also, family who rents will have to rent child safety homes. For us, grills are common sense child safety. Like, parents get condemned alot if they don't instill grills, and when their toddler falls out of the window, and dies, they will get alot of flak for being irresponsible fucks. And it still happens. After all, almost everybody here is saying, it just takes 2 minutes to look away and your toddler will get into some danger. It just takes 2 minutes for you to look away for your toddler to fall out a window. 80% of people in my country live in high rise apartments. IF they fall, they are dead. To not care is stupidity. Well,.. different countries, cities, areas do things differently.. (duh) The kind of grilles I have seen are either permanently fixed so they do not open at all or they do open but only with a key, but can you imagine freaking out cuz of a fire & fiddling with a key, dropping it, trying to find the key on the floor, possibly with smoke coming into the room? No way would i put grilles on windows (even if they have been improved since I looked at grilles), and as you admit that even the ones you have arent easy for a child to open if they need to get out.. But if everyone there lives in hi-rises then I guess ya might as well put grilles on the windows if you are up high since you are dead if there is a fire either way, jumping from the 10th floor window isnt gonna save you/your kids from a fire. There are hi-rises here but this is a big country so a lot of people, especially those with kids, live in houses or low rise buildings so fire is a greater danger than falling out of a window is.. But there are so many risks to kids in their own home.. suffocation, drowning, poisons, etc.. Actually, here, the people that do put window grilles on do it to keep burglars out, not to keep kids from falling out of the window..
