I wish this boy a speedy and full recovery. May God be with him and his parents in this difficult time. @ all the bloggers who pretend they are experts in health and safety. Get a life and stop being grumpy.

Jesmond, here are no bloggers, just commentators.
And this comments space is provided so that people can write their comments. Some comments may, naturally, not be to your liking but you have no right to tell people to stop commenting. That's arrogant.
Timmy, yes, accidents will happen always, but by taking care and being careful the number of accidents is greatly reduced.

Jekk joghgbok tiggudikax ghax int ma kontx prezenti u ma tafx is-sitwazzjoni kif kienet. It-tfal iweggaw min taht ghajnejk f-temp ta sekonda u tista tkun l-aqwa parent tad-dinja!! Ghadni hierga mil-isptar u 2 genituri hdejja waqalhom il-baby bil-walker sular tarag!! Tieghi minn quddiem ghajnejja habat habta rasu li ma nghidlekx!! Allura ahna genituri hziena???
J'Alla ma jdumx ma jghaddilu dan it-tifel!! Ha jkompli jilghab u jgawdi bhal kull tifel u tifla u jistriehu mil-inkwiet il-genituri!!

Good news to hear that the child.s condition has improved. But mat I say that accidents happens in small families of two or three how it comes that we do not expect any incidents at schools when normally the class population is around 30. Although they are suppervised sometimes something crops out. We pray for every one, child, parents and not the least the teacher concerned for her shock.

I suggest that we inform ourselves of the facts before assigning blame. As any parent will attest it takes just one moment for a child to get into trouble even though you are giving your full attention. And this is just one child. So what about if you have thirty children at one time under your care? Notwithstanding your utmost, accidents are still bound to happen.

How did this happen may I ask? Is this a summer school? Where were the people who were supposed to care for this child? We need answers please.

Why do you need these 'answers'?

Ms Fiorentino, if you have kids of your own, you should have the answers. Kids get an idea in their head and fulfill it immediately without giving it a thought of any consequence. One cannot be a arms length of each and every child. My daughter fell one storey when she was only 30cm away while I was unpacking a car loaded with my shopping. May God be with the child and I pray fro him and his parents so that they can resume their normal life as soon as possible.

This is quite sad news. It always is when a very young life hangs on a balance. May God speedily return him to his parents ambrace. But forgive me if I add. How did this happen? Is there some "danger spot" in the school grounds? Did he fall off a window or whilst climbing a tree, as boys often do? I did not hear any mention of a magisterial enquiry. Please set parents' minds at rest. Schools should be as safe as a home.

Do you really think homes are safe? Most accidents happen at homes.

Tragic. God help his parents in this very difficult time. I sincerely hope he makes a full and swift recovery.

Almighty Master of the Universe, my God. In the merit of our appreciation of your wonderful works. May You grant him back his health. May it be Your will that you speedily send him a complete recovery , a healing of his body.

So ... wasn't it part of the Great Divine Plan (and will) of the Almighty Master Of the Universe that this innocent child got seriously hurt?
Seems like it was if it happened no? And now, why do you pray to him to reverse his Plan?
Wouldn't it have not been much easier and better for all if the almighty had planned something happier?
Just ridiculous !!
