I don't think there was any mistake about whether it was open or not. My guess is he went to plop her up there so she could look out and he lost his grip.

or looking to avoid legal consequences related to negligenceQuote:
On every RC cruise I've been on those windows are NOT super clean and very easy to see if they are open or not. Sadly I think they are looking for $$$$$ from RC.

Looking at that photo, the only reason he lifted her was to see out the open window. No way he didn't know the window was open. So much negligence on his part.

Sue for a cool million.... cruise line says 1/2 to make it go away. lawyer takes 1/2 of $500,000 ..... 1/4 mil reward for grandpa dropping kid from 11 floors up.
Dang and some people get nothing for leaving their kid in the car for 5 hours......
I've had kids and work with toddlers every day. This was not a high probability accident like drownings and simple falls. The parent was negligent. These open windows are not easy to access for someone under 2 feet tall. For this to be the first time this has EVER happened ever on a cruise ship means something!JoeAggie5 said:
Some of y'all must not have kids,or forgotten what it's like to have little ones. Their daughter was 18 months old, kids are CRAZY busy at that age and climb EVERYTHING. Whether that was a kids area or not, if it's accessible to anyone on the cruise then there should be some sort of barrier. Windows should only be able to be opened by staff. Hell a chair could of been slid over there by someone or even the toddler, she climbs up in 3 seconds and falls out.
Grandfather sets her on railing (dumb move) a couple of windows over, gets distracted by another grandkid, tit-tays, etc kid walks down "railing" and falls out, takes a few seconds. Cruise ships shouldn't be set up for that to be able to happen.
People don't always sue for money, but if you don't think that EVERY cruise line is reviewing how to make it impossible or less likely for this to happen again now that a lawsuit has been filed makes any of you thinking this is just about money as delusional as you claim these parents ae.

If the baby had been in his arms, this whole situation could have been avoided.agz win said:
But one window in the children's play area was open, and Chloe fell out of Anello's arms from the 11th story of the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship
Agreed, that grandpa knows what he did and already has to live the rest of his life with that guilt, this just makes it worse.Fonzie Scheme said:

If that video is taking place at the same day and time when the toddler fell, then I'd say that's pretty damn clear at the very least the cruise ship is not liable.

The statement by the cruise line is pretty harsh, though - "grandfather is the reason that chloe is no longer with her parents". Yikes.
