The grandparents had to escape from the burning apartment through the window.
11-year-old a girl set fire to her grandparents’ apartment in Brazil on Saturday, Brazilian newspapers reported O Globo, O Povo and O Tempo.
The situation happened in the city of Patos de Minas in the western state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
It all started when the grandfather had forbidden the girl from using her phone as a punishment for looking for information about witchcraft on the internet.
When the grandparents had retreated to rest in their bedroom, the girl had locked the door of the room and set the sofa in the apartment on fire. He had left himself through the stairs to the yard.
The fire quickly spread from the couch to other parts of the apartment. Since the grandparents were stuck in the bedroom, the only option was to escape through the window.
The apartment was located on the fourth floor of an apartment building.
Brazilian magazines video clips of the situation have spread on social media. They show the grandparents jumping onto a pile of mattresses that the neighbors have built below the window.
The 70-year-old grandfather survived the fall uninjured, but the 53-year-old grandmother was sent to Antonio Dias Regional Hospital for a check-up because she felt pain in her legs and chest. In addition, he had time to inhale smoke.
The grandparents said that the girl usually lives with them for a large part of the week.
The police are investigating the case.
