In a world filled with social media and viral trends, one recent incident has left us pondering the unintended consequences of youthful pranks.
In Malaysia, a young child with cerebral palsy, known as Iqa, found herself at the center of a heart-wrenching incident that has shocked the nation.
A schoolmate pulled her chair away as she was sitting down, as a prank, and she then fell, suffering severe spinal injuries and became bedridden.
The Prank That Changed a Life
Iqa’s mother, who goes by the online alias “azera5276,” took to TikTok to share her daughter’s heart-wrenching story.
According to her account, the incident occurred when a friend pulled Iqa’s chair from under her. What may have seemed like a harmless prank quickly escalated into a tragedy.
Iqa’s mother’s plea for understanding and support has resonated with the online community, spreading awareness of the dangers of such pranks, and the 20-second video she posted on Saturday quickly went viral.
The Hospital Journey
In a subsequent video posted a day later, medical staff can be seen transferring Iqa from one ward to another for an MRT scan. The MRI report, shared by Iqa’s mother in the video, revealed the stark reality of her daughter’s injuries. The child’s pain was evident, as she cried during the process.
Iqa’s mother is resolute in her commitment to her daughter’s recovery. She shared that Iqa suffered a fracture in her tailbone, slipped discs, and extensive bruising on her bones.
Despite the challenges they face, she remains hopeful. In a later video, the mother shared that Iqa has been discharged from the hospital but still requires a pillow to sit. Unfortunately, prolonged sitting is out of the question, and Iqa must spend most of her time in bed.
