A child had fallen out of a window from a second floor flat and he received serious injuries.
Since reporting on this incident, parents and residents who live in the block of flats expressed their worries over the safety of the windows.
One woman even said the windows are latching on with a "duct tape".
Keelie Cox said "Half these flat windows are falling off. Ones held on with duct tape."
Thames Valley Police are continuing their investigations into how the boy fell out of the window.

Bracknell Forest Council (BFC) also said they are supporting the police in their inquiries but affirm that they do not own the building.
Cllr Dale Birch, executive member for adult services, health and housing, said: “We’re very sorry to hear about the incident and wish the child involved a full recovery. While we are unable to comment on the incident as it is part of an ongoing investigation, we can confirm that we will fully support Thames Valley Police with its inquiries, as necessary and where required.
“The council does not own the property involved. However the safety of our residents is always our priority, if residents have any concerns about safety issues in their homes, we urge them to report them promptly to their land lord or contact the council if you need advice.”
Despite this, one mother explained in the Facebook comments how she made BFC put window locks due to safety fears of having a small child in a top floor flat.
Tina Chamberlain said: "I made the council put proper locks on mine I’m top floor flat with 4 yr old and the windows aren’t hard to open, it should be the law that any flat over bottom floor should have child proof safety catches on."
Government building regulations and health and safety law states that 'windows that are large enough to allow people to fall out should be restrained sufficiently to prevent such falls.
The opening should be restricted to 100 mm or less. Window restrictors should only be able to be disengaged using a special tool or key.
