Three boys were spotted running along the edge of a building outside a window on the 28th floor in southern China.

A terrifying video filmed in Yuanling County in Hunan Province on February 25 shows a boy running along the edge of a building on the 28th floor while two other boys climb out of the window.

According to a woman named Yang, the width of the building ledge is only 20 to 30 centimetres and the children had been playing there for more than 10 minutes.

The residents who spotted the scene reported it to the property management. The children's parents finally took them back home and told them off.

2月25日，湖南沅陵一小区29楼窗外，有三个孩子翻出窗后在腰线层跑动玩耍，十分危险。
知情者杨女士称，几个小孩在29层窗外的腰线层上玩耍，没有任何防护措施，楼房腰线宽度仅有二三十厘米，他们玩了十几分钟。有业主发现后通知了物业，物业联系到家长，最终孩子回到了家中。家长随后也对孩子进行了十分严厉的教育。
