Last Monday, June 3, a tragedy shook the community of Cassilândia, in Mato Grosso do Sul. The sad event occurred at a local daycare center, where a three-year-old boy, identified as João Lucas Faquini Ferraz, had his death confirmed.
The incident occurred during school break, a time that should be a time of joy and relaxation for children. Unfortunately, João got involved with a piece of cake, a food that many children and even adults love. This tragic accident cut short the life of a child full of potential and dreams.
According to information released by several media outlets, a nursery school employee acted quickly to provide first aid to the boy while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Despite all the efforts and the employee’s attempted action, João did not survive and died a few hours after being admitted to a local health unit.
The city government, deeply shaken by the situation, officially confirmed the boy’s death. Out of respect for the family, three days of official mourning were declared. This decision reflects the seriousness of the situation and the sadness that has taken hold of the community in the face of this sudden and painful loss.

In addition to the tributes, the city government, in an official statement released on social media, said it is offering all necessary support to João Lucas’ family. This initiative is essential to help the family deal with this painful and unexpected situation.
The pain of losing a child is painful, and the city government emphasized the importance of providing psychological and emotional support to family members, who need a welcoming and understanding environment at this time of mourning.
Local authorities have also taken the initiative to investigate the incident. The investigation aims to clarify the conclusions that led to the boy’s death, seeking to understand whether all measures were taken to try to save João Lucas’ life. It is essential that this analysis be carried out carefully and attentively, so that similar events can be avoided in the future.
