Luanda Peddie remembers the day her world shattered.

In 2011, her 14-year-old son Jovanni fell to his death from the sixth floor of their family home in the Missenden block of London's Aylesbury Estate.

Now she is calling on councils and landlords to take action, as they are "failing innocent children whose lives are at risk every single day". According to the ONS data, 66 people aged 19 or under, like Jovanni, died after falling from buildings across England and Wales between 2013 and 2022 - the most recent data available. Of those, 24 were in London alone.

So why is this happening? And what needs to change? 大象传媒 London's Stephen Menon has the story.
