Firefighters rescue boy sleeping on 5th floor window ledge

A 12-year-old boy had to be rescued in southwest China after sleeping on a ledge five storeys high to escape his father, a video site reported.

When the boy’s father scolded him for being too lazy to get out of bed on Wednesday, the 12-year-old decided to climb out of his fifth-floor window and sleep on a ledge, according to a clip by Pear Video that was filmed by an onlooker.

Wearing yellow pyjamas and lying flat on his back with arms crossed, the small boy fits perfectly on top of the dangerously high window canopy outside his family’s flat in Jiangkou county, Guizhou province.
