A one-year-old toddler fell 150ft to his death from his home’s 14th floor as his parents were engaged in a late-night drinking session in Russia.
Local media outlets spoke about how both the parents were now facing jail time after the horrifying incident that took place due to their extreme negligence.
Investigations into the case revealed how Alexander and his wife Taisiya who hails from Moscow in Russia were busy in a late-night booze binge. And that’s when the careless parents were informed that their one-year-old son named Timofei had passed away.
The couple claims they had no clue about the incident as they had reportedly locked the child in his cot, before taking part in their drinking session. But reports confirmed how the baby was able to climb outside of his cot and then tragically fall from a window that had been left open.
Shockingly, the parents were informed of the tragic news by the cops as the little toddler’s body was soon found by a number of passersby residents who lived in the same tower block, which was located on Marshal Zakharov’s Street.
Moreover, during that specific period of time, a spokeswoman for the resident’s committee went on to declare how the toddler’s mum was present inside the apartment when the harrowing incident took place. Therefore, this proves the most extreme form of negligence on her part.
The parents were described to be 21 and 13 years in age, and since then have been put under police custody for the suspicion of causing death, with charges that entail up to years of jail time.
Ever since the tragic case took place, Russia’s Investigative Committee has gone about warning parents about the great risk that all kids possess in high-rise residential buildings.
In the same way, more reports from Russia’s Committee that probes serious crimes showed how this particular incident was the third case to take place on that particular day.
