Among the main purpose of door with a lock is for privacy. Another function for door lock is for safety so that no one can enter the room you’re in but what if the safety feature is the one that cause harm to you?
This lady shared her horror experience when she was locked up in the bathroom with her 2 young daughters. Sharing her experience on Facebook, this woman was locked up for more than 7 hours until her husband returned home from work. Her post has amassed over 1K likes and 2K shares as many were also having problem with the same doorknob.
As soon as she realised they are locked inside, she tried to calm herself first and let her kids play with bubble bath and she cleaned the toilet.
She did everything she could, even pull out the towel hanger to knock off the doorknob. But still, everything is to no avail.
But what worries her the most is her children when their hands and feet shrivel up and turning blue. They try to survive by turning on the water heater to the maximum heat but there’s a risk of suffocating.
She even had to let her daughter to drink from the water heater as she was too thirsty. While her younger daughter is still breastfeeding. But then her blood sugar drop causing her to feel too tired and sleepy.
What broke her heart was when her older daughter said, “I’m cold”, as she is someone who don’t even use blanket sleeping with air conditioning. She even asked why her hands are turning to white and wrinkly.
Thankfully, her husband started smelling something unusual happening to them as she didn’t update story, didn’t reply to his text and not picking up his call. At 4:30, he went to his daughter school, but as the teacher informed that she did not attend, he hurriedly went home. He tried to knock it off to but it didn’t work so, he kick the door open.
