Estefanía Valladares lost her 13-year-old son Olvin Daniel Cabrera Valladares when he was strangled by his shirt while playing on a playground slide in Shenandoah Park in Miami on September 25. His shirt got caught on a loose screw, and despite efforts to free him, Olvin fell out with his arm inside the collar which tightened around his neck. He was placed on life support but was declared brain dead a week later. The city spokesperson confirmed that an investigation is underway, and the park reopened after a day of closure for inspection.

Story summary
Olvin Daniel Cabrera Valladares, a 13-year-old student from Miami’s Citrus Grove K-8 Center, died after his shirt got caught on a screw inside a playground slide at Shenandoah Park in Coral Way, Miami. The accident occurred on September 25, when Olvin was supposed to be in school but rode his scooter to the park instead. A man visiting with his children found Olvin trapped inside the slide and attempted to free him, but it was too late; Olvin's shirt collar had tightened around his neck, causing strangulation. After being discovered, he was taken to a hospital where he remained on life support until October 1, when he was declared brain dead. The park was closed for a "non-criminal investigation" the day after the incident but reopened shortly afterward. Olvin's mother, Estefanía Valladares, warns parents about the dangers of playground equipment and the importance of supervision.
