This is in response to the Nano Edit "Your child first" (KT, June 3). Being a Dubai resident for a long time I have read at least hundreds of such incidents happening over the years.

Child safety is not only the responsibility of the parents, but it is a social responsibility. It has become a big challenge to protect today's curious children. It is high time we take concrete action. Schools have made it compulsory for all staff to pass the course on child safety.

I feel, the authorities should make it mandatory for high-rise buildings to have protective meshes fitted in the balconies and windows. It can prevent the children from falling.

Such rules must be made mandatory by law. -Sabiha Parveen, Dubai
