An Accident Waiting To Happen?

[agchristie]

What possesses anyone to 'dangle someone from a window'? Isn't it inviting trouble?

AH, //unless you feel the need to blame someone from afar to make yourself feel superior //

What's that all about? I don't see any indication of anyone wanting to make themselves feel superior.....

....although I do agree with you when you say 'the internet is tailor-made for that.'

Tragic.

Maybe Jackdaw's answer.

Still can't see it, ummmm.

Just so you know, this apparently happened on the pool deck. The windows up there are not like a house window. They are about 3 foot square and slide sideways. I think it might be conceivable that grandad slipped against the edge of the window, sliding it open and somehow the toddler went out through it...just trying to work out circumstances.
If you look on post 43 of this link (where it has been widely dicussed) you can see the sliding window in the background.

There's no information in the original link that would enable anyone to make a sensible comment. People, please get a life. Don't pontificate on nothingness.

Puerto Rico police claimed the child was held out of the window - it's mentioned some way down the article, so the Mail haven't entirely made it up. US police dispute the claim, however. So it's probably too early to get the knives out for grandpa.

It's not just the DM.

A family in despair, truly awful.

Yes, a horror story. Poor mite and all involved.
