This is an absolute tragedy. Are there barriers preventing such an eventuality - as with the Empire State Building in New York?

Sad to hear. Was it suicide or accident. I am sure there would have been people around the place where she fell

Probably ICE could be the reason.

Time for some Investigative journalism, so many students from the same school end their lives the same way .. isn't this strange ? What's motivating the kids to end like this ? Why are the parents just accepting these as the end of chapter ? Is there something the school Management knows bug is conveniently hiding to maintain pride ?

The relevant authorities should enact an immediate directive to all public high-rise buildings’ management, stipulating that no children or youth unaccompanied by an adult be allowed entry. To ensure no adults are ‘bought’ to access entry, entering the adult’s NIC details in a log book should be mandatory. Furthermore, the school authorities should launch their own investigation, since three of their students have resorted to this behaviour within the span of a few months. All possible reasons such as bullying and academic pressure should be reviewed. On the 1st of September, a similar incident in Japan was widely reported in the media. Sadly, such news can act as inspiration to vulnerable young people.
