title: [Child falls from windows, an avoidable tragedy].
abstract: Accidental falls of height lead to serious medical consequences. They occur in very young children, up to 5 years, belonging to families with social problems and deprivation. The circumstances are well known. The lack of revised law enhances the need of active prevention: young children have to be watched any time and never remain left alone in any room with openings.
