A 2-year-old boy fell from a third-story window in Forest Hills, Queens, on Thursday afternoon. He was found with minor injuries and taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where he remains in stable condition. Police say there is no evidence of criminal activity and believe the fall was accidental. The incident occurred two days after an 8-month-old girl survived a 15-story fall from a Bronx apartment building following an alleged push by her mother's boyfriend. Both incidents highlight safety concerns for young children living in high-rise buildings without proper safeguards like window guards.
