La semaine dernière, un petit garçon s’est cogné la tête alors qu’il se trouvait à l’école à Birmingham (Angleterre). Le lendemain, l’enfant décède.

Parents devastated. Last week in England, Muhammad Yaseen Uddin, aged 6, was at his Marlborough Primary School in Birmingham. During the day, the child's mother was called by the school to tell her that her son had hit his head and that he needed to be picked up. Although the school initially said it was nothing serious, Yaseen died the next day, reports the Daily Mail.

Analysis in progress

It was a call from the school that alerted the mother last Tuesday. He is told that the little boy hit his head, that it is a “simple bump” and that the injury is < em>“no gravity”.

Once back home, he eats with his brothers and sisters, takes medicine given by his parents and goes to bed. But Wednesday morning, for Yaseen's mother, it's a tragedy. She discovers her son's lifeless body in the bed.

For the moment, the reasons for the death of the 6-year-old boy are still unknown, analyses are underway to determine them. “He had a head injury at school. The school said to my wife, 'Oh, your son hit his head,' and when she asked if it was serious , they replied: 'No, it's nothing serious, it's just a shock'”, the father protests, quoted by the English media.

The school staff is being singled out by parents, who point out that this is not the first fatal accident in the establishment. Another child had died just before Covid .

The English primary school has sent some of the dead to the bereaved family. An online fundraiser has been set up to build a mosque in their memory.
