A child of the same age lost her life after making a fall from the fourth floor of his building, where she resided with her mother and other sisters. The accident took place around 8:15 p.m., in the Messier-Stade district of the commune of Luxeuil-les-Bains (Haute-Saône) which is located northwest of Montbéliard.

France 3 Burgundy-Franche-Comté suggests that significant work is also being done within the primary school in Bois de la Dame where the girl was enrolled. “Psychologists were present. Every student and every teacher was able to confide within the school.”it was heard.

According to data collected by Santé Publique France, everyday accidents are responsible for more than 200 deaths of children under 15 each year in the country. The prevention efforts that the State intends to pursue must “target falls as a priority”as in the case of this little girl, who are the “the most frequent accidents that can lead to serious injuries, such as head trauma”. “They must also target toxic accidents and asphyxia/suffocation accidents, due to their severity.”we conclude
