We used to live in an apartment building where the landlord seemed even more paranoid about our child falling out a window than we were. And for good reason.

Police in Oakland County’s Waterford Township are investigating the death of a 4-year-old who fell from a second-story window of his home and landed on his head.

They said the boy fell in a subdivision near Cass Lake. That’s about 25 miles northwest of Detroit. He fell Wednesday evening and died early Thursday.

Authorities said the boy’s mother was home when he apparently pushed through a window screen.

Jerry Jones, who plead guilty to murdering three relatives and his 10-month-old daughter, admitted he killed the baby out of revenge:

GBI agent James Harris said he questioned Jones at a hospital two days after his arrest. At the time, Jones was unable to talk because of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and wrote down brief responses.

Harris said that when asked if he committed the killings, Jones wrote “Yes, uh huh.”

When asked why he killed the infant, Harris said Jones wrote “revenge” across the page.

The Blaylocks, who were shot, were the mother and stepfather of Melissa Peeler, Jones’ ex-girlfriend. Bradley and the infant were strangled with a cord.

And one official is blaming abortion. But we’re not even that clear on the argument — we think he’s saying that because there are more abortions, there are less unwanted kids to be put up for adoption, but that’s a bad thing and a moral dilemma? Can someone clue us in on the downside here?

[Jackson Carlaw, Tory public-health spokesman] has queried if the 1967 Abortion Act is linked to the fall in adoptions. There has been a 750 per cent increase in abortions in Scotland since 1968, from 1,537 to 13,081 in 2006. But experts dismissed this as too simplistic an explanation.

“I’m not issuing a moralising polemic against the principle of abortion,” said Mr Carlaw. “I am merely analysing the trends that have followed the passing of the Abortion Act, seeking to bring them to public attention and hoping to encourage public debate about whether we are comfortable with the direction in which we are heading.

“It seems to me that, however worthy, sex education has failed. I would argue that there should be a fresh public discussion.”

Note to criminals — do not bring your 1-month-old son with you when you’re being chased by the cops, he’ll only slow you down.

Timothy Hartford Jr., 38, and Ashley Smith, 26, are suspects in the Thursday shooting deaths of a man and woman in Winston-Salem, N.C., police said. The victims were a 77-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer and a man she was serving lunch. Another volunteer, the dead woman’s husband, was wounded.

The suspects’ 1-month-old son was with them during the chase and ensuing standoff and was taken into the custody of child protective services. He was not injured, Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Cotten said.

A state police officer saw Hartford and Smith’s vehicle in Suffolk at about 2 a.m. Friday and attempted to stop it. Smith drove on and police pursued the vehicle into Norfolk and used road spikes to shred its tires, officials said.

The couple pulled into a shopping mall parking garage and were negotiating with police, but didn’t surrender until about five hours later.

It’s just like that Mean Joe Green commercial, but with a decidedly worse ending.

A shirtless [soccer star David] Beckham approached the boys February 20, after the Galaxy’s exhibition loss to Japan’s Gamba Osaka in the Pan-Pacific Championship, and reached over a sign with his right hand and gave away his white jersey.

Eric and Yoshika Kerr said it was their 10-year-old son that held a sign all game and eventually lured Beckham over. The jersey, they say, was intended for their son because the soccer star pointed to him.

Wilfred and Yoshika Ho said their 9-year-old son had possession first and that a police officer stepped in during a scrum for the jersey and resolved the issue by handing it to their son.

“My son got the shirt, their kid started trying to pry it away,” said Wilfred Ho, who considers a front-page photo in Thursday’s edition of The Honolulu Advertiser proof.

An 8th grader in Omaha, Nebraska was shot in the middle of a school soccer game. Well that’s certainly worth of a red card!

About 100 kids were in and around the middle school about 3:30 p.m. when witnesses saw the boy — a soccer player on the sidelines — bleeding from his face. He had been shot in the mouth and was taken to Creighton University Medical Center; police identified him as 14-year-old Taylor Borgeson.

Tierney said the teen’s injuries suggest he was struck by a discharged round that was falling.

Children were kept in the school as police questioned them. Dozens of parents picked up their children after the lockdown was lifted.

“It’s kind of a hectic scene,” Tierney said.

The missing children of the Chicago woman found dead in her apartment last week have been spotted at a store in Arkansas with their father. But unfortunately they were not stopped, and police think the group has probably already made their way to Mexico. So yeah, good luck getting them back now.

“I believe they are being taken care of,” [Chicago Police Area 5 Cmdr. Joseph] Salemme said of the minors.

A no-bond arrest warrant has been issued for Casanova for child abduction. No other charges have been filed against him, police said.

Garcia, 30, was found murdered in her home Monday. Police said they think Casanova picked up the children after classes at Yates Elementary, even though an order of protection barred him from entering the school.

Casanova is driving a 2002 silver gray Dodge Dakota, possibly with Illinois license plate 86196H, Salemme said.
