Toddler Survives Fall from Balcony After Being Left Alone by Father
A toddler in Bogota, Colombia, survived a fall from a fourth-floor balcony after being left home alone by his father, who went out to buy cigarettes. The incident occurred when the child climbed onto the balcony's edge using brick blocks fixed to the wall. Neighbors, noticing the child in danger, quickly gathered below with blankets and jackets to form a makeshift safety net. The child fell but was caught by the neighbors, avoiding serious injury. The father admitted to leaving the child alone to prevent cigarette smoke from filling the apartment. Local authorities are now investigating the family environment and safety conditions at the home.
