Toddler in Critical Condition After Eighth-Floor Fall at Comas Condominium

Authorities have opened an inquiry into safety lapses at the building.

Overview

  • A girl about two years old fell from the eighth floor of the Las Acacias complex in Comas after reaching for a plush toy near a window while her grandmother cared for her.
  • Neighbors and district security staff gave first aid, and police moved her to Hospital Alberto Sabogal, where she remains in intensive care with a reserved prognosis.
  • A police report says private security blocked or delayed entry for responders, so officers climbed a fence and entered through another apartment to reach the child.
  • Residents say several apartments lack protective window mesh, a basic barrier that can stop falls, and they recount prior warnings to the building administration.
  • Officials opened investigations into possible responsibility by caregivers, the condominium administration, and security staff, and the case has renewed calls to require window protections in high‑rise homes.
