Mangalore, Dec 10, 2013 : Alert neighbours saved a two year old girl child from an impending danger, after the child who while playing had unknowingly locked up her mother in the bathroom was dangerously playing with a pair of scissors in hand.
The incident was reported from the Matrix West Wing Apartments at Alake on December 9. Malathi and her two year old child were at home. Malathi had gone for bath when her child was playing on her own. But it was only when Malathi finished her bath that she realised that she could not open the door as the child had locked it up from outside.
Finding no other way, Malathi raised a cry for help through the ventilators. Neighbours who sensed danger rushed and peeped through the window close by the main door. They saw the totally unaware kid playing with a pair of scissors in hand. They then informed the fire brigade and also the apartment owner at Urva who rushed with the spare key even as the fire brigade personnel arrived.
It was a sigh of relief at last as the child had luckily had not harmed herself with the scissors.
