His mom had stepped out to drop her daughter to school
A five-year-old Arab boy died after falling from the 12th floor apartment in Al Qasimiya area in Sharjah on Tuesday morning.
The tragic incident occurred around 6.45am when the child’s mother had stepped out to drop her daughter to the school bus. The boy was reportedly fast asleep, when she left.
The woman heard from other parents that a boy had fallen, and was devastated to see it was her own child.
Central operations room of Sharjah Police received information about the incident at about 6.45 on Tuesday morning, and immediately Alonejad patrols, ambulances and a CID team rushed to the site. But the boy had died on the spot. Preliminary investigations suggest it was the negligence of parents and relatives of the child that led to the tragic incident.
The General Command of Sharjah Police urged residents to monitor their children. Children should be supervised by elders. And windows and balconies must have rails and high fences which must be locked to protect youngsters, the official said.
