Spanish judge DROPS probe into couple whose toddler was filmed walking around 82ft high ledge

Spanish judge drops probe into couple whose toddler was filmed walking around narrow 82ft high ledge after girl’s parents offer ‘sufficient’ explantation of what had happened.

The mother was in the shower when her toddler was walking around a narrow 82ft ledge, however a Spanish judge as shelved his probe into the couple.

He decided to close the case and recommend no charges over the incident which saw the toddler scaling the outside of a block of flats in Playa Parasio, Adeje, Tenerife on January 4.

The parents were highly criticised on social media for the video that saw their daughter walking around the ledge. At the time, rather than climbing over the balcony, the toddler was then see walking back the way she came.

In a terrifying moment the child jumped as she appeared to lose her footing and raced back along the ridge, before she stopped at the window where the footage ended.

A spokesman for the investigating judge said in a statement: ‘Investigating Court Number One in Arona, Tenerife, has ordered the provisional archiving of the case sparked by the girl filmed walking on a ledge some 82 feet above the ground at an apartment block in Playa Paraiso in Adeje.’

‘The decision was made after the girl’s parents were interviewed and the court concluded the incident was a one-of accident with no apparent prospect of it being repeated.

‘The case had enormous media repercussion because the girl was filmed from another building by a person who posted the images on social media.

‘The judge, Daniel Pedro Alamo Guzman, interviewed the parents last week.

‘The mother was questioned as a person under formal investigation and the father as a witness.

‘When the incident occurred, the father was not at home.

‘In the judge’s opinion the couple offered a sufficient, coherent and detailed explanation of what had happened to the extent that it became apparent this was an isolated domestic accident with no criminal responsibility.

‘She also said they’ve taken remedial measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again by putting locks on each of the windows in their apartment which is on a fourth floor.’
