The citizen who recorded and shared those moments expressed their reaction with the words, "You see the condition of the children... If one of these children breaks something, who will be responsible for that?"

THE MOST BASIC RESPONSIBILITY BUT...
The most fundamental responsibility of municipalities is to ensure the safety of citizens, while leaving a school staircase covered in snow for days clearly reveals negligence in public service.
