Man who threw brother from roof had history of mental illness: mom

The schizophrenic Brooklyn man who went off his meds and fatally tossed his 4-year-old brother off the roof of their apartment building Saturday spent the evening before laughing maniacally for no apparent reason, according the siblings’ grieving mom, who said her slain tot was a “joy” to everyone he met.

A tearful Odessa Frith recounted Sunday how — just hours before her eldest son Shawn Smith, 20, tossed her youngest boy Shimron off the roof of their seven-story apartment building — Shawn was creepily and inexplicably cackling to himself in the family living room.

“I don’t even want to mention him now,” she said at first of her 20-year-old killer son when reporters spoke with her inside her Midwood home.

But then she worked up the courage to continue.

“The night before, [Shawn] was sitting in this chair. He was laughing and laughing. Usually, he was a quiet person,” the mom said.

Around 3 a.m. Saturday, Shawn brought Shimron up to the roof of their Nostrand Avenue building and threw him off the side — then proceeded to brag to cops that “I killed my brother.”

The grieving mother of six, who moved here from Guyana in December, trembled and held her hands in her head as she tearfully eulogized her dead baby boy.

“My baby Shimron was just a joy,” she sobbed. “He touched everyone’s heart. Everyone he met loved him. He was a joy.”

Her next youngest son, who is 5, is having trouble comprehending what happened, the mom said.

“He doesn’t understand. He wants to know when Shimron is coming home,” she said.

Police said Shawn has no criminal record, but his mother described a history of mental problems.

Shawn threatened to kill himself on the same roof in April, and he was hospitalized for three weeks following a mental-health episode in July, the mom said. He went off his prescribed medication just a few days before killing Shimron, she said.

Shawn was awaiting arraignment on murder charges in Brooklyn on Sunday.

Girl who fell out of window in Harlem is going to survive

The 9-year-old Harlem girl who tumbled out a sixth-floor window is in critical condition but should pull through, her mom said Tuesday — as it surfaced that the child was home alone and had been warned by her mother to stay away from the air conditioner minutes before the accident, police sources said.

“By the grace of God, she’s alive,” said Iesha Punter, whose daughter. Kianna, is recuperating in Harlem Hospital. “I’m just gonna keep praying.

“She’s pulling through.”

Iesha declined to detail Kianna’s injuries other than to say she is in critical condition, adding, “I’m just worried about my daughter’s health.”

Kianna was home alone at the St. Nicholas Houses on West 129th Street near Frederick Douglass Boulevard when she fell out of the window at around 5:30 p.m. and landed on a second-story roof landing, police said.

According to cops, the window’s air conditioner fell out first, and when the child was looking down from the window, she fell, too.

She told authorities that she did not know how she managed she fall out of the window, sources said.

Neighbors said the girl could be heard screaming, “Hep me! Hep me!” after the fall.

Emergency responders then rushed the “conscious and alert” girl to Harlem Hospital.

Sources say the mother and father of the victim and her siblings have an open case with the city Administration for Children’s Services involving domestic-violence incidents in front of the children.

Young girl miraculously survives fall from sixth-floor window in Harlem
By Joe Marino and Tina Moore
October 1, 2018 | 7:57pm | Updated October 2, 2018 | 12:15am

A young girl fell out of a sixth-story window in Harlem and miraculously lived when she landed on soft roofing jutting out above her building’s first floor, cops said.

The unidentified 9-year-old was rushed from the Saint Nicholas Houses on Frederick Douglas Boulevard to Harlem Hospital “conscious and alert” following the approximately 5:30 p.m. fall, the NYPD said.

The young girl’s fall was broken by the roof of a childcare center, located on the ground floor at the back of the building, neighbors said.

“She was screaming ‘help me!’ when she landed,” said Latifa Shakour, 27, who lives one building over.

Neighbor Malika Wiggins, 24, who was sitting in the courtyard when the girl fell, said she heard “a loud boom” and the girl screeching, “somebody help, somebody help.’”

The girl’s frantic mother ran over from down the street and told cops her daughter had been sitting on the A/C unit when she fell, Wiggins said.

Bronx girl recovering after falling out of second-floor window
By Allie Griffin, Shari Logan and Max Jaeger
October 7, 2018 | 7:09pm

A Bronx 3-year-old is lucky to be alive and recovering at a hospital after falling out of her apartment window, her relieved dad said.

Kaddijatou Darboe climbed through the window and fell from the second-story of her family’s Sherif S. Byrd Place apartment Saturday night after moving a vinyl flap that held a window-unit air-conditioner in place, according to dad Sajor Darboe.

“It was screwed in. I don’t know how she did that. She is so fast,” said the dad, who has had to take care of his four children by himself since his wife died of cancer of the liver in May.

“I was fixing the food for them to go to the babysitter. When I came to the living room, I don’t see her so I said where’s Kaddija? Then I see the opening in the window and I ran outside,” he told The Post.

Neighbor Cynthia Olivia says she comforted the ailing child until Sajor arrived.

“I heard her fall. I was in my kitchen and I heard a thump and a man said there was a child on the ground,” she told The Post.

Sajor says when he got outside he could hear his daughter “crying and saying ‘Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.’”

The girl was taken to Lincoln Hospital for a leg injury and then moved to Columbia Presbyterian, where she has been under anesthesia while doctors conduct brain scans and other tests.

“The doctors and nurses said she is fine but they are waiting the final results of the different tests,” the dad said. “I’m very sad, but I’m very thankful to God for keeping her.”

Sajor’s wife passed away in May, and he must care for Kaddijatou, the girl’s 6-year-old sister and twin infants who will be 2 years old in December, he said.

The 3-year-old is a handful, according to Abdul Ali, 30, who has been living with Sajor for the last month.

“She’s very hard to control with three other kids ,” he told The Post. “It’s very difficult for [Sajor]. I’m not blaming the child but I’ve been living with him and she’s hard to control. If you move her from here to there. She goes back. You tell her to stop and she doesn’t listen.

“I don’t want to blame [Sajor] that much because it’s difficult sometimes.”

Police are still investigating the fall, according to officials.

Schizo man: I threw brother off roof because ‘he was the lightest’
October 11, 2018 | 10:10pm

The schizophrenic Brooklyn man charged with killing his 4-year-old brother by dropping him off a seven-story building told cops he selected the sibling because he was the “lightest” fambly member , according to newly unsealed court documents.

“I thought that God would make the world a better place,” Shawn Smith, 20, explained when asked why he killed sibling Shimron at their family’s Midwood apartment building last month.

Smith said he chose the tot because “he was the lightest, and he was in the easiest position.”

There were three other kids in the apartment, including a 5-year-old.

Smith was arraigned Thursday on charges of first-degree murder. Attorney Jonathan Strauss pleaded “not guilty” on his behalf.

A 2-year-old boy is clinging to life after falling out his bedroom window in the Bronx, police said Thursday.

The toddler was in his room at the Rochambeau Avenue home in the borough’s Norwood section around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday when an electric heater started to smoke and his mom opened a window to let fresh air in, police said.

A short time later, the boy’s 12-year-old sister came in to check on him and saw him lying on top of the window on his stomach and then falling out two stories to the ground below, police sources said.

“This is a horrible thing,” the boy’s father told The Post, wiping tears from his eyes.

The mother dashed downstairs to pick him up and he was rushed to Montefiore Clinic and then to St. Barnabas Hospital in critical condition with severe head trauma and a skull fracture, police and law enforcement sources said.

He was then taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center for surgery.

Police said no arrests have been made as they continue their investigation.

The little girl who plummeted to her death from the window of her family’s Bronx apartment had just turned 4-years-old — and was supposed to have a birthday party Sunday, her heartbroken mom said.

Helena Flores celebrated her birthday on Feb. 5, and was looking forward to a Peppa Pig-themed party — her favorite — when tragedy struck just before 5 p.m. Saturday, mom Hilda Flores told The Post via Facebook.

“Because the kids room was so small and had two radiators in it , we would sometimes leave the kids top window open just about two inches,” Flores wrote. “Our beloved 4 year old Helena found a way to [climb] up, open the window wider and tragically fell out our 4th floor apartment [sic].”

The tot tumbled to East 140th Street below, and was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital.

“She was our little diva our little princess. A small happy innocent child,” Flores wrote. “We are devastated. Our little girl is gone.”

Flores — who said that her daughter “had autism and was unaware of [the] danger” — said that she and her family can only take solace in knowing that Helena died quickly.

“We was told she died on impact,” she wrote. “Although no amount of words could console my family and I, knowing she didn’t suffer gives an inch of peace.”

Police are investigating the death, but have not charged anyone.

Flores insisted that her family took great care to keep the Mott Haven apartment safe for Helena.

“We childproof the whole house, we made all of our children feel safe and loved,” she wrote. “One mistake changed all of this in a split second.”

She also urged other families to learn from their loss: “Hold on to your children cause accidents like this can happen to anyone, at any moment.”

The autistic boy who plummeted from a third-story window in his Bronx home continued to recover Saturday, as neighbors recalled the terrifying moments of uncertainty after the child fell.

Noel Cruz, who is non-verbal, slipped out of the window of his family’s Bailey Avenue home in Kingsbridge Heights around 7:10 p.m. Friday as his father was installing an air conditioner unit, neighbors and police said.

“I heard that siren—I looked out the window and I saw it was a boy,” recalled 35-year-old Ilda Perez, who works as a caretaker for the Cruz family’s neighbor.

“When I looked out the window the ambulance was already there. I just heard him crying.”

Noel — who is described by a different neighbor as a “rambunctious” boy who “likes to go outside” was rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian in stable condition, police and sources said. He remained there Saturday.

“He’s a very hyper kid—when he sees the outdoors it’s like heaven to him— so I guess when he saw outside…,” neighbor Rafael Valera, 54, veered off. “His head was bleeding.”

He added: “I was very worried until I saw him moving. Thankfully he’s alive. That’s all I can say.”

Police confirmed the incident appeared to be an accident.

Two-year-old girl falls from second floor of Queens building
By Ruth Weissmann and Nick Fugallo
July 22, 2019 | 10:09am

A 2-year-old Queens girl fell from a second floor window that was left open during the heat wave, police and sources said Monday.

The girl’s father had just finished giving her a bath in their apartment on 26th Ave near College Point Blvd at about 8 p.m. Sunday night when he left her unattended, sources said.

But the tot managed to slip away.

“My husband just took her out of the bath and went downstairs to get the hair dryer. No one else was home, me or the kids, and she got onto the ledge and fell off,” mother Jia Jia Zhou told the Post.

She continued: “We had the window open because it was so hot outside.”

The police said the girl had fallen through the screen of the window, which didn’t have a child guard.

The toddler was rushed to Long Island Jewish Hospital after the fall, and is expected to survive, officials said.

“She’s still in the hospital right now,” Zhou added. “She has a broken right leg.”
