Tampa Toddler Dead After Falling From The 4th Floor Of An Apartment Building
This story is so heartbreaking. “Tampa toddler dead after falling from the 4th floor of an apartment building.” I live in St. Petersburg which is very close to Tampa, so this story hits close to home.
According to the Tampa police, the 3 year old girl fell out of a bedroom window at the Mosaic Westshore Apartments in Tampa on Sunday. Yesterday, sadly she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Tampa Police chief Lee Bercaw released a statement saying, “As a parent myself, I know the extent a parent will go to ensure the safety of their child. It is absolutely heartbreaking that a child lost their life in such a tragic manner. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as they grieve the life-altering loss of their child.”
Tampa police tells us that the child died due to injuries, and that the incident appears accidental.
Prayers for the family
My thoughts and prayers are with this family at this time. As a parent, you always want to out live your child. I can’t even imagine how this family is feeling. Police say that it appears to be an accident, but Im sure whoever was watching her is blaming themselves. Growing up, I lived next to a family who had a 4 year old.
One day while they were grilling in their front yard, the 4 year old dashed into the middle of the street. Sadly, he was hit by a car. Totally accidental, but the parents still blame themselves to this day. I still keep up with the family on social media and see the memorial that they do every year.
I will keep you updated on this horrific incident, if more details come out. If you have any comments or concerns, feel free to email me [email protected]. Love you, and stay safe.
