No child should ever be left unsupervised. Especially, a 3 year old child who doesn't know any better. What a tragedy.
My thoughts exactly
Stupid parents
RIP baby boy I couldn't imagine letting my child play on a balcony that high.
Exactly. They busy with Instagram
On god.
@@themechanic4222 did you watch the entire clip? The neighbor said there was fighting in that apartment everyday. In conclusion, domestic abuse situation, not necessarily instagram.....obviously they were not paying attention to the baby
@@Michael_J_M14 Hard to live with for normal people…
R.I.P TO THAT BABY TRULY TRULY SAD
BUT
ON ANOTHER NOTE
that neighbor giving the interview telling all her business for the little 5seconds of fame I think needs to be slapped.
NOT THE TIME TO BE SAYING ALL THAT BORROWING MONEY & NEEDING PAMPERS 🐂💩
As the story unfolded it just got more and more heartbreaking. Baby falls, mother screams. But to find out there was domestic disputes everyday and then she was asking for diapers and money and needed help. Oh my goodness this is the saddest story 💔😔🙏 RIP baby boy
If this is the saddest story then it’s all downhill from here.
Makes u wonder if she threw the baby
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 they will investigate, hopefully she didn't
It sad how people have children when they can’t or do not want to take care of them
@@mymindseyesees2002 she took care her son the best she can
WTH was a 3yo doing all alone and unsupervised on a 29th floor balcony? 😧😧When I was a little kid we lived in a condo on the 10th floor and we had a very big balcony but I was never allowed to be on the balcony unsupervised.
Well Said
Did you know?
South america have kids parkouring the building on the 100th floor on the ledges of the window, you can search it
@@spideysensestimewasted3692 so what this is a 3 year old SMH
@@chezzachezza7325 they are the same age, the difference is that third world countries have feats that consider life risking actions as the norm
He went out there when nobody was watching. I see kids on balconies alone unsupervised all the time at work it’s not 29 floors up but still this is a habit. I’m wondering what the construction of the balcony was that he was able to slip thru. The state requires bars on windows above the 2nd floor if children under 10 reside in the home. WTH was up with the design of the balcony…she’s at fault but if the balcony was made properly for that high floor this may not have happened.
That's why you never leave your kid alone
Especially on a balcony!
So sad that the parents had to learn the hard way
We’ll said and always lock the doors to the balcony.
Neglect at its finest
Some parents. Living or being that high up with a small child, you should already know better. No excuses.
I agree 100%
Indeed
Yeah the first thing I thought was “neglect” when I saw the title. Smh poor boy hope he is at peace now
Sounds like the child is in a safer place now.
R.I.P.
the mom sounds mentally ill she needs help
If you really believe that and it’s true, why aren’t people throwing their babies off of balconies more often?
You're evil.
How do you know that?
If this happened. Then you know he is in a better Safer place.
That’s why I don’t put any tables or chairs next to the railings. Kids climb everything
I knew a person living on the 34th floor installing a netting all the way around the railings from underneath the balcony above down to the railing.
The little one should had been supervised, no reason for him to be alone...
This reminds me of when Eric Clapton lost his son Connor in a very similar manner. :-( That tragedy became the inspiration for his song "Tears In Heaven".
this reminds me of when some used an actual tragedy, to display their knowledge of musical trivia.
@@liamjohnson2474 It's just a reference as this story is an actual tragedy as well.
I remember Michael Jackson holding his baby off a balcony.
I thought the same thing.
Actually, there are no tears in Heaven.
This is like Eric Clapton's son, blame the parents for not watching that child, you have a balcony you lock the door and watch your child...
Lory Del Santo, Conor's mother was watching him, and even had a nanny. She was in the shower and got distracted by a fax and she saw Conor when she got out but he ran really really fast past everyone to an open window that the handyman left open and didn't tell anyone it would be open. It just takes a few seconds for an accident to happen.
@@asturiasceltic3183 ppl how blame the parents they don't gave kids never dealt with any ... accidents happen in a second
@@salkordi90 It is impossible to look after someone every second of the day. People need to shower, use the restroom, sleep. Did they expect Lory to take Conor with her in the bathroom when she was showering? And those little kids run fast.
@@asturiasceltic3183
If this is true then why was she begging for diapers and such?
@@nunya8903 I don't know about this lady. I am just explaining what I read happened with the Eric Clapton and Conor tragedy
Kids are your responsibility never leave them alone even when they get older we never leave them alone
Either that or that poor baby was Scared of them fighting everyday.. Most Parents are NOT FIT to have children 😢
Most people are not fit to take care of a dog
@@wb3381 I agree ✔ .... and _some_ aren't even fit to take care of a pet rock.
Agree
are u fit
Smh 🤦♀️ 😭😭so sad 😢children are the ones who suffer and go through the worst in life always the innocence
Peace and healing to the family.
Jail time for them can peace
And heal behide a cell
By reading the comments I can see that alot of people miss the 2 most vital parts of this tragic story; DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & THE UNFORTUNATE DEATH OF A CHILD...SMDH
REST IN HEAVEN LITTLE MAN 💫
You were the one that missed what other are saying.
Domestic abuse or not, you have small children, that balcony door should always be closed. The key should be kept where the child(ren) cannot find it
The truth is considered domestic violence because it hurts feelings. Americans have never said anything original or helpful yet they have all the feelings in the world.
@@shirmelduggins9984 And you were there and know EXACTLY how EVERYTHING played out? You also know EVERYTHING about life because YOU have Life’s Playbook, right?? GTFOH with your erroneous comment. None of us were there. What we DO know is VIOLENCE lived in that home with that Angel who met an unfortunate violent demise. Everyone wants to say what should’ve and could’ve been but I ask you this, have you ever lived in a violent household? Have you ever suffered domestic violence? Do you KNOW what your life will be like next year? NOTHING is as it seems ESPECIALLY when you’re on the outside looking in.
Think a little before you respond. This shouldn’t even have you in YOUR feelings….lol but I digress. Have a blessed and safe 4th of July
Peace
You can’t make excuses for people/PARENTS that neglect their children.
@@lalaland7410 technically speaking the cia only allows zombies breed or raise children in a way Jesus, Nikola Tesla and Bruce Lee were not.
Geez what a horrifying scene. The sound and clean up that has to take place after that is gruesome.
Uh the wet thud...
*shudders*
I keep my balcony locked at all times when my 3 year old is around. His mother always says I’m too cautious.
No you not! I bet she happy af now behind this😳 love your baby man. Rather you be cautious and your baby safe then NOT! I hope you believe in Jesus cause he love you and your baby and your baby mother too. Please have Him believe in Him if you don’t! Find out about him for yourself! Don’t judge him off of man or this world! Go to Him yourself please💙 your soul is so valuable💙
Smart move.
Your smart for doing that. You sound a great father.
We were living on the 4th floor in Washington Heights,
I was about 4yrs old and had a fascination with pigeons. I was crawling on the ledge following the pigeons around the corner and a guy yelled up, "son, is your mother home, could you get her?"
I crawled backwards into the window and got mom.
I got a beatin for that.
RIP
@@fredgervinm.p.3315 if you think about it, why did we get beat for our parents own negligence?
Dang that neighbor was spilling all sorts of tea!
When you do something for someone keep it to yourself that mother was in need and I can’t imagine what she is going through right now
Sadly thats what I just said when giving charity from your left hand even your right hand shouldn’t know what you gave or how much .
I came to post THIS!!!
I felt the same exact way while listening to the neighbor divulge unnecessary information. I literally rolled my eyes. Now they're investigating abuse on top of them losing a child seriously horrible. My prayers to the family 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🙏🏻
nah she did the right thin, get out of here with that BS
@@woman1stmother2nd71 that's what I thought, putting the business out there for everyone. Nosy neighbors 😑
😭 WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?! WATCH YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!
like that's going to happen...have you seen the majority of parenting lately.
@@ayshafareed4935 Too true
Unfortunately, parents are often distracted by phones, cooking, cleaning, reading, and working or they're sleeping cause accidents like this. Parents can't watch their kids 24/7, but it could have been prevented by locking the windows and doors.
That lady is just spilling the beans stuff that don’t need to be put out there
Why you gotta put the mother on
Blast like that . She asked you for money and diapers now you gotta tell the whole world about it after what she going through.
they get on that camera and start PERFORMING
Well I mean that’s what happened, that’s the truth and knowing that actually changes the story a bit.
It shows that the mother is negligent, is always arguing and not focused on her child and this is the results
They should have probably not put that on video and left it to police investigation. But it does show the mother may have been in trouble and perhaps in an abusive relationship. That’s risky for that neighbor though, i hope she doesn’t get threatened for it.
Lol Maybe she can help solve this case. Whether that is domestic violence or accidental. Rip little one 🙏
there's no way smh. I couldn't imagine trying to get to my child after falling from a balcony from the 29th floor... how do you do it? catch that elevator? run down those flight of stairs? MY God what a tragedy.
You jump after him ! The fast way down !
You’re gonna be running down the stairs hysterically ….that’s something I wouldn’t wish on anybody
Don’t let your child play on the balcony
Very sad I’m so sorry to hear that my condolences to his family
Who leaves a 3 year old on a balcony unsupervised?🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
They do
WhY wasn't He being WATCHED?? WHY DID HE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BALCONY???
Could turn out to be a murder if there was domestic violence involved.
My prayers are going out to these parents an family. I also worried when I lived in 3rd floor I did everything I could to reinforce my patio door outside an inside. My son was 2but very smart an paid attention to everything. I locked my front door an asked him to go unlock it. He did and my husband was outside the door to get him in case he went out. So what we did was put a latch on door up higher told him to open door he did again an it didn't open he looked up. Yes he did. Went into dining room grabbed a kitchen table chair pulled it over as we were in awe. An stood on it. Unlatched the latch so we had to just about put it away up to the frame just about so he couldn't reach it. We moved to a down stairs garden level. Because I was so worried about this here that happened to this sweet little man 💖. God rest his soul in your arms.
I remember when when my children were toddlers...they certainly are smart, and quick too. Anyone judging this mother should remember all the close calls we had...this could happen to anyone.
Agreed my child would do the same I was on ground level but we lived near a pool... Talk about living in fear..nothing could keep him in so we taught him to swim...but still we didn't want him to get kidnapped either...he eventually just grew out of it but there was alot of close calls
This reminds me of Eric Clapton’s child passing, beyond tragic 😢
Omg yes I thought the same thing 😞
There is no way I'm going out on anybody's 29th floor balcony.
This is so tragic..
@@verreal Some parents do not set boundaries for their children. However small that child is they understand. Start early and sake yourself the heartache. Keep off the phone and to your parental duties
My deepest condolences to the mom
Lol. How do you know she didn't throw him off the balcony?
@@FirstLast-nz9vo we just wait and hear how he fell
@@FirstLast-nz9vo she didnt but dad hmm
@@FirstLast-nz9vo how do you know she did ? Innocent until proven guilty
She belongs in jail
They said both parents were home. 90 percent of the comments blaming the mother only.
I’m lost for words Rest in heaven 🕊 😞
May this little baby soul rest in peace and may God bless the baby with peace in heaven that the child did not have here in this earth 💜😢
He is not in heaven. The Bible never stated that. When you die you remain 6 ft deep on the ground until Christ comes. Don’t believe what everyone is stating read your Bible especially 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17.
Why that old lady airing out the lady asking her for cash for ?we didn't need to know all that just mention she asked you for essentials for the kid smh
Right, that was totally inappropriate.
She was virtue signaling for her own selfish purposes. It was disgusting to watch
Let's give credit for the witness of what's going on. Nowadays, not everyone would speak up of what they hear and witness everyday... Let's just hope that it's legit, if the mother is asking for help for diapers... then there's something going on that led to the baby's death
No I totally disagree that is not the worlds business to know what you did for somebody else you do act of kindness from the heart that’s problem with this world none is genuine anymore .
According to the neighbor they were always fighting, couldn’t provide for the child, and now the child dies due to neglect…allegedly. Can’t be too sure these days.
@@corbinwhite7741
This is different; this isn't idle gossip; the people, the authorities, the press, *all* want to know of any precipitating factors leading to this horrific tragedy.
The knowledge of what went on in that apartment is important so investigators can determine if there was abuse. 3 year olds don’t just suddenly fall from a balcony. Was there a table and chairs out there? Or perhaps an angry parent was on the balcony with him?
@@corbinwhite7741 yeah, I kinda hear you on that note. There's always that one person that gets on camera after the tragedy happens and runs their mouth. She should be talking to the police about that
Just horrible. When I lived on the 2nd and 3rd floor with little ones they couldn’t play near the windows and the balcony was blocked .
And those terraces SHOULD BE WAAY MORE SAFE FOR KIDS!!!!
Bad parenting and being irresponsible seems too be the cause too a lot recently
You watched this but didn't listen? Domestic violence.
@@Galaxie08 huh
@@Galaxie08 my comment went over your head and it’s ok continue to have a wonderful day if you aren’t already ☮️
@@krashoutmods Unlike you, I listened. Bye bye 👋
@@Galaxie08 ok friend have a good one☮️❤️I’m glad you listened
Somebody needs to be charged they can cry in jail. When I was a kid my friend lived next door fell out an open widow we lived on the 3rd floor and his mom left him unattended as she was outside with friends he was 6 he climbed on an object then jumped out the window . Thankfully he lived
Oh lord Precious baby 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why would you let him play on the 29th floor balcony?
She could of keep what she did for the poor lady to herself smh rip to the 3 year old may you Rest In Peace 🤎🧡 …
Indeed, kinda a big mouth.
On the other hand, it does provide a little more insight into the story.
We know her she just wanted clouts
Why ?
@@AllenHanPR how ? It provides more information about the family
She been ready to start talkin
That woman who was interviewed by the journalist,, SHE TALKS TOO MUCH!!!! Why did she have to give out all that information about the couple and their child? If she did help the mother with a few things for the child,, why did she have to say that on live TV? People talk to much. Having said that,, I feel for the mother and now the deceased child.
OMG RIP POOR BABY ❤️
I found the building on Google earth and did a cursory search. The unit near them is 2 br for 650k. The building was put up in the 70s and completed with so many issues. I wonder if building codes of that decade added a layer of danger (railing height, etc).
Probably just negligence. The child should have been supervised
@@omeeawakened2371 right. Hopefully, the father had nothing to do with it. After learning of their domestic disputes and the baby not being cared for properly. 🙏
My deepest condolences to the family
How did the three-year-old boy fall two-hundred-ninety feet? A sad day for this child.
Bless this child, & his family...
How do you expect for the child to be blessed and he's dead?
I remember when I was a kid they built those buildings the neighborhood used to throw rocks at the workers that City will never change....
As a mother of a 3yo i was and is very cautious with how a lived and where and when I purchased a home i made sure certain things I wasn’t going to have with my home until he got older like a pool, how steep my stairs were, locks on doors, plastic plugs in sockets etc. im nervous every day but i can never imagine going through this. Just horrible. And if i had to move in this building i would’ve tried getting a lower level apartment if possible
Poor little thing.
RIP sweet angel. So tragic ☹️🥺🙏🏼❤️🌷
Very heartbreaking condolences to the child
It's the parents fault but one of those crooked NY lawyers will find a reason to sue the owner of the building. The balcony wall should have been higher? Balcony door should have alarms? You made me live on 29th floor? The building should have netting below each balcony to catch falling people?
Hmmm, a 3yr old, and no one was watching him/her!!! It just seems suspicious.
tragedy heartbreaking
That building needs barriers-so things like this should never happen again.. 😢
Or maybe just responsible parents👀👈🏽
They do. It's called a door and it should have been locked so the kid couldn't get out.
42 yrs living in that building Jesus
This is extremely sad.. why the relevant people did not get involved? Now a beautiful innocent baby lost his life. There are so many mothers in need of help. There’s no community just individual suffering in silence. Look how densely populated yet sad n lonely humans.
Your a real fxcktard did u know that??? Women need help because how? A baby fell 29 STORIES down how is this anyones but the parents fault? It’s common sense not to allow ur child to play on a terrace
33 billion for Ukrainian first
I met a lot of isolated unhappy folk through voluntary work yet my city's population is above 9,000,000 I think we need to work our way back to the extended family unit. Bigger homes need to be built rather than tiny flats or apartments up in the sky.
Because many people fear of getting involved! Have you not heard of stories of people trying to help women in domestic violence relationships and end up attacked by either the lady or the boyfriend? I remember my mom tried to get involved with her friends domestic abuse the friend told her to mind her business and her man still beat her we call the cops and she still stayed . So I don't blame anyone for not getting involved
Maybe people tried but DVs won't leave for various reasons. The woman could have also turned on someone that was trying to help. My experience with trying to help someone with a DV is they turn on you and neighbors say to mind your own business.
This hits close to home literally as I used to live in the Wagner projects across the street real sad story
This lady 5 floors up heard them fight everyday.... really
She didn’t have to put the ladies business out like that about milk n diapers smh n money too much info for a time of tragedy like this rip baby boy so sad
The “ parents” should have been watching her child. Better yet they should have giving the child up for adoption. I don’t feel bad for the parents. My heart goes out to the child/ victim.
Wish we could fly 🕊️. Rest in peace.
This made my soul cry
Absolutely horrible! My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I can’t even imagine what they are going threw.
Rest peacefully little guy😢
So sad he's in heaven now the adults that was socall caring for him should be jail Rip littleguy💔😪💔
Deepest condolences 🙏🏽🕊to this angels loved ones.
RIP baby boy 😔🙏🏽
Poor baby RIP sweet angel 🙏
I'm praying for the lady safety who gave the interview. She could have left the extra information about the fights out of it.
It was necessary information. Get the full scope
@@djosephine not on public tv. Give the info to the police. No telling if she'll be targeted now (I hope not).
Typical Taino Towers ppl…. Love to gossip!
Imagine the pain of the parents.
Rest in peace little angel. God bless his love ones. This is a terrible tragedy.
So sad and tragic. May that child rest in peace.
Poor baby ...rest in peace 🙏🕊️😇
So heartbreaking S.I.P little angel that’s is so horrible prayers to his parents
Reading headlines like this is enough to give me nightmares. I’m also a mother and it can be exhausting having to watch over my toddler. But your child’s safety must be your priority. Double check, triple check your surroundings. Put yourself in their shoes and try to anticipate what they might reach or do. I know nobody is perfect and they can be really fast. But many senseless deaths would have been avoided if parents/carers just apply basic common sense.
So sad and in my stomping ground’s neighborhood in the barrio Spanish Harlem my heart my goes out to this child and the family RIP Angel 👼
Poor baby escaped his terrible life.
Rip angel 👼
My ❤ heart sunk just reading the headline I'm deeply saddened for this baby my prayers and condolences to his family.
Rest in Heavenly Peace lil Angel.
Rest in peace babe
Rip little one. Idk… with the parents arguing prior to him falling, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them had something to do with it. Crime of passion.
HE FELL LIKE 275 FEET
WOW
BLESS HIM
Explain to me how this neighbor knows so much about the family. Would hear them arguing everday and lived on the 34th floor and the family is on the 29th.🤔
This breaks my heart
Aww Absolutely heartbreaking... you cant take your eyes of your children for one minute anything can happen. so sad.😢
I can't believe this. Poor baby 💔
When you're with the wrong person no one wins.
Whole area need case managers
So the 3 year old cut the window netting and jumped? These balconies have covers. Sounds like he was throw.
They took the covers off years ago, Never replaced them.
Taino Towers of terror…. They need to install childproof window guards. RIP little man.
Have to do with running out of money for drugs, don't want to accept responsibility
So heartbreaking
Omg 😢🥺🙏🏽 RIP Sweet baby ❤
So sad, prayers for all.
OMG 😱....I cant even imagine the pain this family is feeling.
Imagine the fear of the 3-year old boy as he was falling to the pavement.
They’re feeling the raw reality of consequences of their reckless parenting. This child deserved better.
How the heck 😭😭so sad this happened to this precious angel😔
