Answer

What should parents in Mallorca do to reduce the risk of a child falling from a window?

Parents should make sure windows cannot open too far, keep furniture away from windows, and avoid leaving children alone near open balconies or ledges. It also helps to check whether locks and limiters are installed and working properly. Small precautions are especially important in multi-storey buildings in Palma and other parts of Mallorca.
