Man, what do you know! A 9-year-old kid, playing in the yard, and the manhole cover took him. I was left speechless, beer in mid-air.
Seriously, what times we live in! In Constanța, at Limanu, right in the Vama Veche – 2 Mai area, where there should be peace and quiet, this happens. Wednesday afternoon, around 4:00 PM, 112 got a call.
The cops from the Vama Veche – 2 Mai Police Station and a medical team showed up. But what could the doctors do? They found the boy already dead.
Those from IPJ Constanța confirmed: trapped under the manhole cover while playing. Now the kid's body is at the morgue for an autopsy to see exactly why he died. But isn't it obvious, bro?
The cover crushed him, that's the cause! And now, woe is them, they've opened a criminal case for manslaughter. What, they just woke up now?
Who's to blame? The city hall? The road administration? The sewage companies? Well, last year I was driving my BMW on a street in Berceni and fell into a hole because a manhole cover was just slapped on haphazardly. Lucky I didn't have a serious accident, but I was left with a swollen lip after paying 2000 lei for shock absorbers.
And now a kid dies from the same cause! It's a tragedy, bro! We Romanians pay taxes, pay duties, and we play a game of life and death on our own streets.
Who's responsible? No one, as usual. The investigators say they'll see if there's negligence in infrastructure maintenance.
What do they need to see? It's as clear as day: it's negligence! If the cover was properly secured, the kid wouldn't have died.
And he's right. In Constanța, at Limanu, where the coast is, full of tourists, kids play everywhere.
And they leave the manhole covers unsecured. Shame, bro! Let's be serious: until someone dies, nothing moves.
Now they've opened a criminal case, but it'll end with 'ongoing investigations' and everyone will forget. I'm not buying that story. 100% guaranteed, they'll blame it on 'weather conditions' or 'vandalism'.
Come on, man, give us a break! Let's see if the Constanța City Hall or the County Council pays anything to the family. Woe is them!
For now, I'm going to check the manhole covers on my street in Berceni, because you never know when a scam is waiting for you. Stay healthy and take care of your kids, because those guys don't give a damn!
