In Dordrecht, a two-year-old child was transported to the hospital with urgency on Thursday afternoon after falling three stories from an apartment building on Aalscholverstraat in the Vogelbuurt. The exact circumstances of the fall, whether from a balcony or a window, remain unknown. The incident occurred opposite a secondary school, and many students reportedly witnessed the fall. Police are investigating the accident, which follows a concerning trend of young children falling from windows or balconies in recent years; in 2024 alone, five children were hospitalized due to such incidents, with some sustaining severe injuries but all surviving, with police generally attributing these cases to accidents.
