Police have yet to determine how a 17-month-old toddler fell from a second story window at 18 East Ave., Batavia, at around 7:47 p.m., Monday.

The toddler, who fell onto asphalt below the window, sustained non-life threatening injuries, according to a statement released by Batavia Chief of Police Randy Baker.

The child was transported by ground ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

The toddler was in a second-story room with a 4-year-old at the time of the fall. The mother, who was at the residence, was not in the room.

There were no witnesses to the fall.

"The toddler, who fell onto asphalt below the window, sustained non-life threatening injuries,"

That's good to read.

I know nothing about this case but I would bet a paycheck that the four year old was flexing his muscles. That's the way it works with all other animals. I'm glad young 'ums are made of rubber. I love the squishyness.

One question comes to mind

One question comes to mind when I read this article. Why wasn't the mother in the room with the toddler? I would never leave my child in a second story room with a window wide open. That just isn't a safe thing to do.
