Toddler survives fall from balcony

A 16-month-old girl in Greensboro, North Carolina, fell two stories from a balcony over the weekend, and miraculously survived.

[Tiffany Robertson, the girl’s mother] remembers the moment it happened… her 16-month-old daughter was right next to her when she slipped through the railing, going after a toy.

“She hit the cement, that’s all you heard was her head hit the cement,” says Robertson. The child dropped from the second story. “It could’ve killed her, yeah it could’ve killed her.”

The fall fractured part of Cordai Dearmon’s skull but left her with no other broken bones. Robertson hopes other parents will learn from what her daughter survived. “I want them to know it could’ve happened to them, watch their kids while they are playing. ‘Cause just a little inch you look that way they could be gone any second.”
