A six-year-old child is critical
condition in hospital after falling down a stairwell at a school
in Milan.
The child is thought to have fallen while climbing over the
railing of the stairs at the height of the second floor at the
Pirelli school in via Goffredo da Bussero.
The child had left the classroom and was alone when he fell,
sources said.
School regulations lay down that children must be accompanied
by teachers or janitors when they leave the classroom.
Milan prosecutors have opened an investigation and are
looking into respect for safety regulations at the school,
sources said.
