Kent Toddler Seriously Injured In Fall From Window

A two-year-old Kent child was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after he fell out of a second-story window in the Western Washington State city. The young boy was in a residential house on 268th Street in Ken when apparently the screen in the window broke sending the boy to the paved driveway below.

Kent Fire Department officials said that the boy was talking when they arrived on the scene but that the toddler was seriously injured by the fall accident. He is now in stable condition, but was initially bleeding from cuts on his head.

A language barrier made it difficult for more detailed reports about what happened to the child, what caused the fall, or who was watching the child at the time of the child fall injury – however, a translator was available was available when the family called 911 to request help. The serious child accident is still under investigation by the Kent Police Department. The believe that it was an accident.

A hanging screen at the scene of the serious accident has many wondering whether a faulty window or defective window screen could have led to the child’s accident. It is also unclear whether or not the child lived at the resident and whether the owner of the property was responsible for keeping the small child safe.

Fall accidents are the most common cause of injury in Washington State, and are especially common among those under the age of five.
