Grandma Goes Mission Impossible While Dangling A 7 Y.O. From The 5th Floor to Rescue Her Cat
If the thought that your pet is more precious to you than anything else has ever crossed your mind, we are almost certain this video captured in China might make you reconsider your priorities. As much as we all love our pets, most of us probably wouldn’t risk our child or any other young kid just to get our beloved pet to safety. Well, this grandma has her priorities in quite a different order, apparently. When the reckless lady noticed her cat sitting on a ledge one floor lower, the best idea for rescuing the feline that popped into her head was apparently to risk the life of her own grandchild and dangle him from the balcony on a rope. Only in China, right?
Passers by captured this video of a grandma dangling her 7-year-old grandson from a balcony to rescue her cat
Passers by filmed this little clip that shows the Chinese grandma dangling her 7-year-old grandson named Hao Hao on a rope from the 5th floor balcony in a risky attempt to rescue her beloved cat that was stuck on a ledge one level below their apartment. Footage shows how the boy balances on the tiny ledge, supported by the rope held by his grandma and puts the cat in the bag (no pun intended?) and then both of them get pulled back up to safety by the same grandma, assisted by the boy’s uncle.
The poor feline was stuck on a ledge one level below, so she dangled her grandson on a rope
The reckless grandmother who’s only known by her surname Tang, was widely criticized after the footage went viral first all over Chinese social media and then all over the world. A spokesperson at the local residential committee, Wang Ying, told BJ News that they had criticized and educated Ms. Tang. She insisted that Hao Hao was not hurt. The spokesperson added that the boy was a first-grade pupil and that his parents were working in another city, leaving him to live with his grandparents.
Luckily, the boy was able to get the cat into the bag and they both were pulled up to safety
Ms. Tang said she didn’t feel she was causing her grandson any danger at the time but felt scared for him after watching the footage. Setting that aside, we have to admit one thing – she may not be the most responsible but she’s certainly one hella strong grandma!
People on the Internet tried to find some humor in the situation

A seven year old on a self-built rope, secured by a weak person. Up in the air. What could go wrong?
While grabbing a cat that could lose its s**t and scratch that child to pieces. Also then grandma might freak out and let go of the rope

It's really sad and heart breaking that I see a lot of people and articles these days feeling more sympathetic towards animals than they do kids, it's sickening to me.

Grandma, take a basket, put cat's favourite treat in, dangle the basket on a rope. That is, if you can't ask your neighbours to let you in to retreive the cat like a regular human.
Need to clean your 5th floor windows? With the help of your upstairs neighbour dangle the maid, or unwanted relative, out of 6th floor window holding her upsidedown by the ankles. Seen this several times but the levels vary.
1.the uncle (he helped pull up the kid) 2. Lol I don't know XD

"Grandma has 9 grandchildren": Not with China's one-child-per-family policy she hasn't! Clearly a cat is much harder to replace than a granchild in her mind? Hm.
I love cats but not enough to risk someone's life over them. Especially not a child. They could have bought a new cat later.
It's very interesting that the focus is on the grandma and not on the uncle....oh sorry, I forgot, women are the ones that is responsible for the kids and never the men. Misogynic world.
Grandma is the one doing the rope work and was the one that the authorities spoke to - with nothing else to go on it does seem like it was grandma who was the one in charge. That doesn't seem like misogyny.

In that case I feel sorry for you. God forbid you ever have offspring.
