Mum warns parents about window safety after daughter's two storey fall.

Little Madeline Cumiskey was at her babysitter’s house in Plano, Texas, when she pushed through the screen and fell out of a second storey window.

Thankfully, the 11-month-old was rushed to hospital and she’s expected to make a full recovery.

Now her mum, Erin, is warning other parents about the dangers of open windows. Cumiskey says when she arrived at her babysitter’s house and saw the screen on the ground outside, she immediately knew Madeline had fallen out of the window.

“When I got there, I just saw the screen on the driveway, and I knew that was where my baby fell,” Cumiskey told WFAA in Texas.

Hannah Davis, a reporter from WFAA, said Erin really wanted to use the incident to raise awareness about window safety. She hopes no other parent will have to go through such a harrowing experience.

“I’m honored to tell a story with a happy ending and a lesson that will save lives,” Davis wrote in a Facebook post.

“11-month-old Madeline Cumiskey fell out of a second story window when the screen on it gave way. Today her mom and doctors are sharing ALL the information you need to know to keep kids safe.

“The number one piece of info… don’t trust a screen. So many people don’t realise how weak they are. Children fall through them every year.”

According to the NSW Government, each year around 50 children fall from windows and balconies. Of these 50 children, many end up with severe injuries and some even die from their injuries.

Children between the ages of one and five are most at risk of falling out a window, as they’re naturally curious and unable to understand risk.

Kids can fall out of window when it has an opening wider than 12.5 centimeters, even if it has a flyscreen.

Should kids be allowed on the farm? Post continues…

The Centre for Population Health has developed a range of resources called Kids Don’t Fly which outline some simple tips to help parents improve window and balcony safety.

They recommend ensuring all windows, especially bedroom windows, are not opened further than 12.5 centimeters and that all furniture, like beds and lounges, are moved away from windows.

Most importantly, they say you can not rely on a flyscreen to keep your child safe.
