Infant OK after 20-foot tumble
Published: June 28, 2007
An infant was treated at hospital after he somehow pushed out a screen and tumbled from a second-floor window in central Oshawa Wednesday.
The mother of the 23-month-old boy told Durham police she’d put the youngster in his crib for a nap around 10 a.m. and was alerted about a half-hour later by someone who found the child lying on the ground outside the Rideau Street townhouse.
It’s believed the child climbed up to a bedroom window and was leaning against the screen when it gave way, causing him to tumble 20 feet, police said.
Paramedics responded and rushed the child to hospital. He was treated for minor injuries and released.
The incident prompted police to warn parents to check screens and windows in children’s bedrooms.
