I saw this on KSAT or WOAI.... yeah
ALBANY, New York (AP) -- A 4-year-old boy survived a fall from an 11-story window after being left alone at home, bouncing off a metal awning into a concrete courtyard and then trying to stand up, officials said. He was able to chat with doctors.
"I'm amazed the kid's alive," Police Chief James Tuffey said.
Hasim Townsend remained in serious condition Saturday, a day after his fall, with a broken skull, a broken leg and other injuries.
"It's an incredibly good sign that he was talking, and I can't attribute it to anything other than good luck," said Dr. Michael Dailey, an attending physician in the emergency department.
The boy ended up in the same pediatric intensive care unit at Albany Medical Center where his mother works as a receptionist, police reports said.
Elizabeth Burciaga, 21, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She initially told police the boy had been left with a baby sitter, officials said.
A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for her, authorities said, and an order of protection to keep her away from the boy has been filed.
The boy stood on a bed and pressed against a window screen, which gave way, police said. He hit the awning about 12 feet off the ground, and it flexed and saved him.
Police came after residents heard him crying. Paramedics had to hold the boy still.
Albany has no regulation requiring bars or other window guards in high-rise apartments, said Steve Longo, executive director of the Albany Housing Authority.

As much as I hate the idea its like this that makes it seem like a good idea to require a licence before your allowed to have/care for kids.
You hate the idea of requiring a licence for people to run daycare?
Video Link?
no, the idea for people in general to have kids to require a license. It may come down to that though to stop idiots from having them.
The kid's a soldier. I agree on regulation of breeding too. It'll be just like Brave New World.
What injuries did he have?

Damn, that's crazy...especially considering the fact that he must be really small, only 4 years old so for his body to have survived that is pretty amazing. Hope he recovers fully, a broken skull doesn't sound good.
Damn, and I'm afraid to have my 1 year old fall on the grass.
What a fantastic thought! Maybe we can have only the smartest and most beautiful people donate their eggs and spem cells and breed children factory-like. Then we can have a government agency that would distribute the children to only those "Most Qualified To Be Parents!" Then those children will already be more suited to breed and produce the highest quality humans for "The Betterment of the Humyn Species" thus reducing, through artificial selection, poverty, illness, race, and a veritable cornucopia of natural burdens! A Master Race for a Brave New World!
so what do u suppose we do with a chick that gets pregnant without a permit... abortion or adoption or what?
Lol... Sounds Like A Adolf Hitler Plan...What a fantastic thought! Maybe we can have only the smartest and most beautiful people donate their eggs and spem cells and breed children factory-like.
