Child's Fall and Immediate Aftermath

  • 👶 A 5-year-old boy named Baba miraculously survived a fall from the fifth story of the Norin houses in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
  • 🏥 He was rushed to the hospital in serious condition and is currently undergoing surgery for bleeding on his brain.
  • 💔 His mother, Mala Kamara, is by his side at the hospital, having spoken with him by phone.

Circumstances of the Incident

  • 🏠 The incident occurred in the afternoon when Mala Kamara was in their fifth-floor apartment with her three sons.
  • 🧸 Baba reportedly opened the window in an attempt to retrieve his toys that had fallen out.
  • 🌳 He landed in a grassy area next to the building on Avenue V, where his mother found him.

Window Safety Concerns

  • ⚠️ Neighbors describe Mala Kamara as a good mother who warns her children to stay away from windows.
  • 🪟 The window from which Baba fell had recently had an AC unit removed and lacked child safety bars.
  • 🔒 Notably, the window immediately adjacent to it does have child safety bars installed.
  • 🙏 Mala Kamara is praying for her son's recovery as he remains in surgery.
