He was found dead in his bed after being sent home from school the day before.
Staff called Yaseen’s mum and asked her to come pick him up after he developed a “lump”.
But after putting him to bed with Calpol, she couldn’t wake him up the next morning.
His father Simriel Uddin told the Mail: “He was a bright, cheerful spirit and was a beautiful boy with a kind heart.
“He hit his head at school – the school said to my wife, ‘Oh, your son hit his head.’
“When she asked if it was serious, they said, ‘No, it’s nothing serious, it’s just a lump’.”
Last week, Marlborough Primary School paid tribute to little Yaseen, who was described as a “wonderful and well-loved pupil”.
The school is “devastated” to hear of Yaseen’s death, and the school’s pastoral teams are supported by fellow students.
When to call 999 for a head injury
MOST head injuries will not be that serious, according to the NHS.
But it’s important to seek medical attention if you or your child has any symptoms after a head injury because it indicates you may have a concussion.
Always call 999 if you or your child experiences:
- Loss of consciousness (even for a few seconds)
- Falling from a significant height
- Persistent vomiting
- A headache that won’t go away
- Blood or fluid coming out of the mouth or ears
- Pallor
- Corruption
- I feel very tired
- Changes in their speech
- Memory problems
- To be inconsolable
- Anxiety
- Aggressiveness
- Being unsteady on your feet
A severe head injury can put pressure on the brain from bleeding, blood clots, or fluid buildup.
This can sometimes lead to brain damage, which can be temporary or permanent.
About one in every 2,000 people who go to the emergency room with a head injury die as a result of the injury.
You should also go to the emergency room if you think someone has been hurt on purpose.
Razia Ali, executive headteacher at Marlborough, paid tribute to the pupil.
Mrs Ali said: “While some of you may already be aware, it is my sad duty to ensure you are all aware of the tragic news that one of our students, Muhammad Yaseen Uddin, a wonderful and well-loved child in Year 2, has passed away.
“This has come as a huge shock and we know it will be very upsetting for many within our school community.
“Yaseen was an incredibly helpful, kind and caring student who brought a smile to the face of everyone who met him.
“We are so grateful that he was a part of our community and we are very proud of all that he has accomplished and so is his family.
“He was a boy who loved coming to school and was an integral member of our school community.”
Ms Ali continued: “We are doing everything we can to support Yaseen’s family and counseling is available to any student who may find this helpful as they cope with this loss.
“Please let me know if you would like your child to have access to this support.
“Our dedicated pastoral team will also be on hand to assist our community in the coming weeks.
“Additionally, for any children who may need some time out of class to talk, our team will be on hand to support.
“There are also a number of organizations providing bereavement support for children, such as Child Bereavement UK – and ChildLine, which you can contact on 0800 1111 or at childline.org.uk.”
“I know that our school community will continue to mourn this sad loss together and come together to support each other in any way we can, and that Yaseen’s family and friends will remain in our thoughts.
“Your child shared devastating news today and may need your support when he gets home.
“I cannot thank you enough for your continued support and understanding.”
Prayers were held at the Pak Pushtoon House and at the Pushtoon Community Center for Women.
A West Midlands spokesman said: “We are aware of the tragic death of a boy in Birmingham and have contacted his school and other agencies.
“At this stage we do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances and our thoughts remain with the boy’s family.”
