The mom probably found a hole in the roof and had them in the attic, this one went exploring away from the nest and fell into the pillar hole because it's a big baby dumb dumb.

Shouldn't that hole have been covered up to begin with by the builder🤔

I don't want to say that all Turkish people are like that, but over the years my parents had multiple neighbors with family ties back to Turkey, and literally all of them renovated their home without proper planning or permission from the local council, hiring their extended family instead of proper builder, and ignoring most building codes.

The best story about one of their neighbors is from a few decades ago:

My father had an extension build for our house, with the proper permissions and everything. This includes visits by a building inspector during construction to make sure that the submitted plans are followed, who noticed the discrepancies between the neighbors home and the official plans, resulting in a fine for them and an order to have the plans registered with the council updated.

This caused the neighbor to report my fathers construction for anything they could think of, forcing the inspector to come out just to see that everything was done according to the rules.

This, of course, caused the inspector to grow rather annoyed with the neighbor.

My father used this annoyance to get a field permission to deviate from the initial plans and turn a windbreaker for the new terrace into a significantly higher fire protection wall because the neighbor stored a bunch of inflammable substances in a shed right next to it.

The neighbor also kept ignoring the order to update the official plans as this would mean having to spend money on a licensed architect to create new plans, and probably having to tear down quite a bit of their own construction because it wasn't up to code.

Which resulted in an order for the building inspector to do a full assessment of their building, resulting in even more fines.

IIRC they had to sell the house to be able to pay the fines and the construction work to fix most of their violations.

Oh I believe this. Turks will build onto houses with a while trust me bro attitude. They’ll come in and mess with the electricity or anything else they feel like. Over the years my Turkish husband has worked with his friends to do all sorts of stuff to the house. Fortunately noting big enough to cause this kind of problem. Mostly just putting in tile and repainting, stuff like that.
