I just read an article about a toddler that fell from a high rise apartment after his parents left his bedroom window open. I know that people are quick to jump to parental neglect, but sometimes the only way to keep your apartment cool is to keep the windows open. The recent heat waves across the planet have not helped with this at all. You can't help but feel sorry for the poor family.

I just read an article about a boy falling out of an apartment window and dying. That is so sad he was only 2 years old. The little boy pushed open the screen in his bedroom and fell out of the window to his death. We should all make sure our windows are secure and our kids cannot open them .Omg that poor boy was proably hurting so bad before he died. I cannot imagine what the parents are going through after losing a child in such a manner.

Why do high rises not have a limit on the amount a window can be opened? I understand if you don't have air conditioning it might need to be wide, but why can't we have limits so that a small body can't fall out? It's a terrible thing, and one I'm sure the parents never even considered. Alternative to that I suppose you'd have to not have anything at all a child could climb up to the window on. It's just too sad though, because you would need to not even have a stool - at two, a kid could certainly move one of those.

Hello friend. I'm ashamed to be called a parent after reading this article. How can a parent be so careless. It's shocking! They said the child's mother put him and a sibling to bed about an hour before he pushed the screen out and fell from the window, which had been left open, sounds like pure hogwash to me.

This was a difficult article to read.   I cannot image the weight on the parents souls carrying this one action the rest of their lives.   They put him to bed, window was  most likely open for fresh air, and the little boy with his curiosity pushed the screen and fell.   Whew, hard to comprehend.  I wish nothing but grace from God to ease the parents suffering.
