Police have yet to determine how toddler fell from second-story window

By Howard B. Owens

Police have yet to determine how a 17-month-old toddler fell from a second story window at 18 East Ave., Batavia, at around 7:47 p.m., Monday.

The toddler, who fell onto asphalt below the window, sustained non-life threatening injuries, according to a statement released by Batavia Chief of Police Randy Baker.

The child was transported by ground ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

The toddler was in a second-story room with a 4-year-old at the time of the fall. The mother, who was at the residence, was not in the room.

There were no witnesses to the fall.

I know nothing about this case but I would bet a paycheck that the four year old was flexing his muscles. That's the way it works with all other animals. I'm glad young 'ums are made of rubber. I love the squishyness.

One question comes to mind when I read this article. Why wasn't the mother in the room with the toddler? I would never leave my child in a second story room with a window wide open. That just isn't a safe thing to do.
