Toddler falls, saved by tires

Posted July 11th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.wtte28.com

Normally we wouldn’t want janky old tires piled next to our apartment building, but there’s one mom today that’s glad they were there.

An Ohio toddler who fell 30 feet from a window is recovering thanks to a stack of tires that softened his fall.

Twenty-month-old Jaelin Lewis bounced through the screen of an open apartment window in Columbus while playing on a bed with his mother Wednesday. He hit four old tires on the ground before tumbling onto a concrete patio.

Neighbor William Zander tried to catch the boy and says it was the type of scene that makes people believe in angels and miracles.

Far too many children are dying as a result of falling out of windows. Parents need to be diligent as a result:

ATLANTIC CITY - A toddler died Tuesday morning after he wiggled from his father’s arms and fell through a hotel’s third-story window, police said.

Aftab Master was holding his young son, Miron, at about 10:15 a.m., when the boy apparently leaned forward and pressed on the open window’s screen, which gave way, Police Chief John Mooney said. The screen and the child fell through the window, landing on the parking lot below.
