When I was a baby I used to crawl around everywhere. One day my father was watching me alone and I somehow managed to crawl up and onto a windowsill, and then I actaully crawled out of the window! I was outside the flat on the outside windowsill, but luckily my father saw me or else I might have fallen the 15-20 feet to the ground. I have only the very vaguest memories of this, but my mother remembers the incident well as she wasn't at all pleased with my father when he told her about the near death of baby LB!! Nos: aieeee I wish that you had fallen to your death LB!! I would never have known you. Aieeee Bog why didn't LB fall?!!! |

I would have been furious with him if I was your mother! So many people really need to be more careful with their children. Did you see all the stories in the news about babies falling out of open windows during the heatwave a couple of months ago LB? |

It's not always the parents fault though. You can watch your child like a hawk and they can still get themselves into mischief. You don't exactly expect a kid to crawl out of a window when your back is turned. |

I would say that most responsible parents expect things like that and take the appropriate precautions. There are two windows in our flat which can open out completely, both have child safety locks on them and are never opened even a little if one of us is not in the room. Leaving a young child alone in a room with an open window, which is what a lot of the people in the news had done, is an idiotic thing to do. All children get little bumps and scrapes once in a while and yes you can't watch them all the time, but there are very few circumstances where a child falling out of a window is not someones fault. It was LB. I remember one little boy fell out and luckily landed on some kind of flat roof. Poor little thing still ended up with a broken jaw though
