No ... unfortunately this was even scarier. She was at the PLAYGROUND right there above the Bushwick / Aberdeen station - and fell through the gate on the ground that leads right to the train tracks !😢 My kids used to play in that playground all the time ...

@lavondo wow, that’s some scary sh

sortiz244May 19 at 5:56 PM

I was there when it happened. The grate that she fell thru was way far from playground part. It’s basically near the cemetery. For one it’s covered by a whole gate them kids climbed and jump all on that gate. They have zero business back there and this isn’t the first time I seen them kids there and jumping on that gate. I’m a frequent parent who comes there and those kids constantly standing and walking on the gate that covers that grate.

@sortiz244 okay and if you kept seeing this why not say anything to prevent it snitch ?

visiontwenty20May 19 at 6:12 PM

I don’t understand why were they in that part of the play ground jumping on that gate? that’s a closed off fence way in the back near the cemetery. I know I grew up here. And no one told them to stop get out of there ,cause when I see children doing something wrong in that park I act as if I’m the parent and tell them something. Lord have mercy.
