According to witnesses, the siblings, ages 8 and 9, used the roof as a makeshift playground before returning to their apartment through the same route. The recording raised immediate concern among viewers about how easily a child could access such a hazardous area, underscoring the risks associated with unsecured rooftops in urban shopping districts.

Law enforcement officials began an inquiry into the matter and confirmed that the footage depicted a brother and sister who were at home under their mother’s supervision that day. The mother was distracted and did not notice that the children had left the residence and wandered onto the roof of the first floor of the store. Once police notified her of the danger, she acknowledged the peril her children faced. This sequence of events illustrates how a momentary absence of supervision can lead to dangerous situations for minors in busy city environments. [Source: МВД Kuzbass]
