An NBC affiliate, WGRZ-TV Buffalo, posted a story which appaeared on MSN.com The first paragraph read:
![The New York State Park Police said just before 4 p.m. they were called to Whirlpool State Park, on the Gorge Rim Trail on a report of a 14-year-old male who had fell [sic] into the gorge.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7tT07z5lExgo6NAVH9A3j1Mn5EmIQPjRsI0uWoTQZHjuZavGPbLCAklcB1CPu9qg6rpWTAMwkuAxL0e0yCQKM8RZtomSdSHcbkxWxa4Dzps0xfOvWp2-WASDqg7uYci0OfGT4c0uGg9rmX7UGY9zzXlu0AEgpzXdQxdoCV7UepnHTYySiIQ=w879-h80 "The New York State Park Police said just before 4 p.m. they were called to Whirlpool State Park, on the Gorge Rim Trail on a report of a 14-year-old male who had fell [sic] into the gorge.")
This is ostensibly a mental health story, but I was drawn to the grammatical error. It should have been "who had fallen into the gorge" or "who fell into the gorge".
The deterioration of learning started well before the COVID lockdown.When I checked the WGRZ website the text had been modified to "had fallen"
