Disposable diaper saves toddler's life

UMM WHY WAS THE CHILD FALLING ?? WHERE WERE THE PARENTS?

umm I wonder where those parents were. I would also think if the parents were not paying attention to baby, "the diaper was in need of being changed".

For those that ask where were the parents? Let me tell you something. My child fell out of a third story building when she was 18 months old. If the window is not properly secured, there isn't a damn thing you can do except watch your child fall in slow motion to your horror. There is nothing more traumatic for both child and parent. I got lucky that mine survived, and I'm sure that these parents count themselves lucky. You can try to be there every second of every day for your child but the reality of it is that you CAN'T.

The woman in the #3 comment, I have to agree with you. My son did not fall as far as your child did. I was in the Same room and he tried to follow his dad out the door and he rolled out the door in his walker and fell face first. My son thought it was funny he was laughing but that is not the point. I was in the same room and he still fell. They move faster then you think. So you people should not place judgement on those parents accidents happen. Just glad the baby is o.k.

Michelle, are you nuts? I have 4 kids, and NONE of them has ever been left unsupervised in a room with an open window. If you have half a brain you know that that's not safe and therefore take precautions. If you need to use the bathroom, you take your child with you (they don't care a bit about your butt), likewise if the doorbell rings etc. There is NO excuse for a child falling out of an open window, except a parent being too lazy to install window guards or simply closing the window. Am I being overprotective? No, I just like my kids the way they were born: alive and well!

Where were the parents? Will charges be filed against them for child neglect?
Were the parents sleeping or partying when it happened???

I also agree that accidents do happen.. My daughter was in her high chair at the entrance way to the bathroom. I was in the bathroom helping my son get ready for preschool and right before my eyes the tray to the high chair fell off and so did my daughter. I saw it happening but it seemed like slow motion and I just couldn't get my hands there fast enough. She was OK but I believe accidents happen and they do happen right in front of you. Some would say it was my fault for not having her strapped in but luckily maybe she wasnt as then she high chair would have fallen on top of her and injured her. I did learn how to look for signs of a head injury that day though as Pediatrician told me to take her outside and if both pupils dilate together she is fine..Whenever my kids banged their heads when they were older always reached for the flashlight in the eyes just to double check, no concussion

Well, I sure as hell hope you self rightous "perfect" parents never have anything happen to your child!
S**t happens people no matter how careful you think you are!

Yeah - gonna have to disagree with the great defenders... SOrry folks but if your kid falls out of a third story balcony, window, set of stairs-- whatever, then perhaps you ought to reconsider your awareness and vigilance as a parent of a baby/toddler. They require a constant set of eyes on them- save for the crib. Accident-schamccident. Negligence- bottom line.

WOW, It amazes me how some of you are just freakin perfect. You best
watch over your shoulders at all times. You condemn others.. at some
point it will sneak up on you and tragedy will strike. You think any
parent wants to bury their child? Shame on all of you who point and
wag your fingers. I so far have been very fortunate with my three
sons. Yet I do pray daily I never hear the words that something
terrible has happened to one of them or my grand daughter.

There's a big difference between a child falling out of a high chair and a third floor window.

That was their apartment, their place of residence. They should be familiar with dangerous situations and take precautions so the child won't get into them. If the window didn't close securely, either fix it or get the landlord to do it. Don't hope for the best but have an excuse at the ready if the worst does happen.Baby proofing isn't rocket science, it's just using common sense. They're lucky to get a second chance. Hope they learned from it.

I agree with Jax. And just because someone is not willing to take their child with them every second of the day doesn't make them a bad parent. Everyone handles their own kids their own way.

His diaper got caught on the security spike embedded in a concrete wall? I don't think it was the diaper that saved him. Someone is watching out for the little guy!

And WHO is this Brad idiot/fool who shows up EVERYWHERE with a sex tape scandal? Has he not figured out no one gives a rat's ass?

...did Satan have a hand in it? Was it witch craft? Did the child get fed up with the parents and thought to teach em a lesson? Or was the child trying to make news? Yadda! Yadda! Yadda! BITE IT FOLKS.

Irene luv your response, You folks are just to serious, and God forbid there is an "ACCIDENT" and there isn't someone to blame. OOps, forgot, nunya ever had an accident. Can't wait until you are old, and crap your pants, just so you can experience one accident in your pitiful life !!!!

You people are crazy... ever heard of blinking? you CANT watch a child every second, doesnt make you a bad parent, if you are constantly watching your child, you arent watching yourself at all, you might be the one to fall out of a window!!!!!

the people that are putting people down, probably DONT have kids, or were just LUCKY nothing bad ever happend to theirs....

Anyone who has ever been a parent can tell you that accidents do happen, no matter how vigilant we are. I now have a 2 yr. old grandaughter who has been climbing since she was less than 1 yr. old....she climbs out of the crib, climbs up on the bunk bed, can open doors, climbs up on top of the cabinets....all these things happen in just "seconds" We have gotten to the point that we padlock the door to the kitchen and put a motion sensor alarm by the bedroom door when we go to bed at night. We are very vigilant, but has she ever gotten hurt...YES...and we do the best we can, but we also pray for God's intervention and help for us all.

I agree that kids inevitably get hurt, but usually that's the bumping into furniture or tripping while trying to walk. Falling out three stories out of a window isn't something that will inevitably happen to kids.
