NEW YORK - A toddler who crawled out a third-floor window during his family's Thanksgiving festivities and fell onto a store roof not only survived — he didn't even break a bone.

Brandon Priebe said his 14-month-old son, Bradley, tumbled from a bedroom window in his aunt's Brooklyn apartment on Thursday. His relatives said they thought the window was closed.

How the crap does a 14 month old manage to get out of a window? Unless the windows are on the floor.....

Seriously, this is a matter of negligence. I kinda hope that Social Services gets involved. I'm glad the kid's ok, but seriously.

Can't help but think of Eric Clapton's poor son, Connor. What a tragedy. You'd hope it would have made ALL parents hyper-vigilant in similar situations so it would never happen again. Thank goodness this child was okay. Still.....how did this happen??

It made me think of Eric Clapton's son too. For those who are unaware, he wrote "Tears in Heaven" about losing his 4 year old who also went out a window in New York.

We have an adult friend who fell through a second story screened window when he was a toddler. He was leaning on on the screen while watching some garbage men. He survived. His mother was busy with his siblings at the time.
