Girl allegedly leaps from third floor because she couldn't get along with schoolmates

KLANG: A Year 6 girl allegedly leaped from the third floor of her school building because she was unhappy that she could not get along with her schoolmates.

The girl, from a government primary school here, was found sprawled on the ground floor of the building at about 7.15am Monday.

The teacher who found her immediately alerted the headmaster and sent the pupil to hospital.

South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Alzafny Ahmad said the girl suffered a fracture on the neck and had head injuries from the fall.

“She is conscious and her condition is stable,” he said when contacted here Monday.

The girl, he said, was in her classroom on the third floor when a prefect told her to go downstairs to attend the morning assembly.

“She told the prefect that she would go down soon. But she was found lying on the ground floor minutes later.

“We found a chair at the corridor near the girl’s classroom.

“We believe she climbed on the chair and jumped,” he said, adding that police have ruled out any criminal element in the case.

Initial police investigations showed that the girl had been absent from school from Wednesday to Friday following an earache.

“The girl had told her father when she was at home that she did not want to go to school because she could not get along with other pupils,” added ACP Alzafny.
