Video: Boy Sleeps On Fifth Floor Window Ledge After Scolding From Dad

Ask any parent and they'll tell you how hard it is to raise a child. Parents put up with a lot dealing with their children's needs and sometimes even tantrums. Something similar happened to a hapless father in China when he scolded his child for sleeping in. How did the boy react? He climbed out the window and lay down on the ledge, according to Pear Video.

The 12-year-old was filmed sleeping on the ledge of the fifth floor window of an apartment building. According to South China Morning Post, the boy's father scolded him for being too lazy to get out of bed which is when he climbed out of his bedroom window. With arms tightly crossed, it was evident he wasn't happy about the earful he reportedly got from his dad. The fire department was called to bring the boy back to safety, according to Pear Video.

Video showed fire officials hoisting the safety ladder to the fifth floor while the boy sat angrily on the window canopy. He was eventually brought back to safety.

The incident took place on Wednesday in China's Jiangkou city, Guizhou province.
