The story of a dramatic
rescue of a
child that was dangling from a Paris balcony took a depressing turn on Tuesday when it was revealed that the child's
Father was off
playing Pokémon Go at the time of the incident
.

The
child was rescued by 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama, an undocumented Malian migrant. In the
now-famous feat, Gassama scaled several stories, earning him the "Spiderman" nickname, to save the child.
But it turns out the child's
Father is now in very hot water over what he was doing at the time of the rescue. French prosecutor Francois Molins
told a CNN affiliate that the
Father had gone grocery shopping, leaving the
child alone and then proceeded to play
Pokémon Go after leaving the shop. (The child's mother was away on a
trip visiting family at the time.)
