'They didn't care' Dad upset at complex after part of ceiling fell on son's head

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — A metro Atlanta apartment complex could be shut down after a family said part of a ceiling fell onto their 2-year-old son’s head.

Pictures given to Channel 2 Action News by Antonio Dale show paramedics treating his son after the ceiling collapsed at the Sierra Townhomes in the city of South Fulton.

“He was shook up real bad. We stayed at the hospital for a long time," Dale said.

The father told Channel 2's Justin Wilfon he had warned management about a water leak in the ceiling months before the collapse.

The apartment still has not been fixed. Instead of relocating them to another unit or property, Dale said management is kicking them out.

“They didn’t care. They didn’t care at all,” he said.

Dale called code enforcement and shared with Wilfon the response he received from the city of South Fulton.

“We have cited the owners. They city attorney’s office is pressuring them to comply or shut the complex down,” the response said.

Wilfon has placed multiple calls to management and has visited the complex offices. So far, management has not gotten back to Channel 2's request.

The family said they are looking for another place to live and would like some compensation for what happened.
