Got such a shock when I heard this, such a tragic accident. Poor little lad, and his poor mam. Hoping everything will be okay.

My uncle happened upon the scene as the ambulance he didn't know it was a child as the poor little thing was covered in a coat. It was from the apartments beside the back entrance to TK Maxx.

God I hope the little lamb pulls through, how horrible.

any chance of a summary instead of just a link

An 18mth old baby fall out a second storey apartment window, it was transferred to Dublin in a critical condition

I feel sick thinking about it, parents should be questioned considering how a child not long walking managed to get up and out a window

Didn't something like this happen down the West about 10 or 15 years ago?

Heart bleeds for the little one and his parents:(

You can be the best, most careful parent in the world and accidents can still happen!!!
I remember almost 16 years ago when my eldest lad would lie beside me in the bed to get him to sleep for his afternoon nap when he was about 14 months. One afternoon I fell asleep beside him but he woke and crawled to the end of the bed and I awoke just as he was about to crawl off the end of the bed with the blind cord wrapped around his neck!!!

Needless to say, that ended the practice of trying to get him to sleep by lying beside him. I did the tough love thing and got him used to falling asleep alone.....He was my first at the time so it was a learning exercise for me.

Obviously I don't know the details behind this but all it takes is for example is an older child to be in the same room as a little one and open the window whilst a parent is for example in the bathroom!!!
At the same time, it could be that the parents weren't watching properly.....Who knows but at this stage, I certainly wouldn't be trying to lay blame anywhere....for now

I'm gonna spend my energy instead praying and hoping for the little one

Children heal much better from injuries like this though they're bones aren't fully formed so bend rather than break. Hopefully he'll be ok.

I would agree with you ScumLord on Wompa but unfortunately think that the head injury will probably respond in very much the same way as an adults head injury would!

I'd agree, bones mend even more so for children but unfortunately the brain is not a bone. Again wait and see and hope he recovers

It's also not fully developed in a child, I think that makes a huge difference, the brains still growing unlike in an adult where it's done growing with no possibility to grow more.

Poor baby

The Child has died unfortunately R.I.P

Also to clarify my quote was more at the inept reporting of RTE. The news agency that toggled between Bhutto being injured and dead 3 times and having a headline that said She was injured and then the story actually said she died. I wouldn't have made a joke about a baby falling out of a window for the record.

LadyMayBelle

RIP. A tragic accident.

Tipsygypsy

Thats just so sad, poor little fella. And the parents. Its just awful. Will have a candle lighting for him today. RIP.

Das Kitty

How awful and heartbreaking.

Dutchess

Oh no, that is so sad. I was just meeting a member of the boards when we heard this.

RIP.

RIP little dude.

poor little guy. My heart goes out to the parents.
