There are eyewitnesses. The service driver who called me is trying to make it look like my child fell from the balcony. If it weren't for the security cameras, we might be helpless and unable to prove that our child was run over. I want my baby to return to us as soon as possible and for those who were negligent in the incident to be punished," he said.
