Fortunately, the toddler who fell from the window survived.

The child, who fell from the second floor, was rushed to the hospital with injuries. The incident occurred on July 2 in Hostomel, located in the Bucha district. This was reported by the Kyiv region police.

According to preliminary information, the boy climbed onto the windowsill, leaned against the mosquito net, and fell out. At the time of the incident, the child's mother was home but had turned away for a few minutes. Fortunately, the boy landed not on the pavement but on a metal canopy beneath the window.

The child's life is not in danger. Law enforcement from the Bucha district are investigating the circumstances of the incident.

Unfortunately, such incidents are not uncommon. Most accidents involving children occur during the warm months when parents leave windows open. Mosquito nets cannot withstand the weight of small children, and little ones climb onto windowsills using chairs.

The police urge parents not to leave children unattended in rooms with open windows and to install safety measures that prevent window opening.
