A 2-year-old girl was seriously injured after a dresser with a TV on it fell on her Thursday in her South Side home, officials said.

The girl’s mother found her daughter under the dresser about 8:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of West 76th, police said. The girl was taken in critical condition to Comer Children’s Hospital at the University of Chicago.

The state DCFS is investigat­ing allegation­s of neglect in connection with the incident, said DCFS spokesman Kendall Marlowe. One other child in the home has been placed in the care of rela- tives, he said. The agency has had no prior contact with the family. Calumet Area detectives also are investigat­ing.

Tuesday, Shaun Brown, 1, was the fourth child from the area in four months to die from a falling TV.
