差点酿成悲剧！2岁幼童窗边玩耍不慎掉落

At 33 weeks pregnant, it seems that Kyrie Jones’ parental instincts had already kicked in. It was a quiet morning when the mom-to-be threw on a housecoat (家居袍) to take her dog for a walk around her neighborhood. She didn’t get far before she spotted something troublesome at the house next to hers.

Her neighbor’s 2-year-old son was throwing things out of a second-floor window. Concerned, Kyrie stopped to observe the scene, noticing that the child was leaning over the edge of the window and coming dangerously close to falling. She ran to the door and tried to warn an adult inside the home, but no one responded.

Kyrie knew she couldn’t just walk away. She quickly called the police from her cell phone. To her horror, when she returned, the little guy had fallen out and was hanging there by his fingers. “I stood right underneath him just in case,” she recalled as she held back tears. “And I was shouting...The window was open, so I was hoping that someone might hear me.”

After a few painful moments, the child lost his control of his fingers and fell. Miraculously, Kyrie was in the perfect spot at the perfect time! Kyrie managed to catch the boy just before he would have hit the ground. She kept the frightened child in her housecoat until police arrived.

The boy’s mother eventually came out of the house, and police are investigating why she left her child alone. Kyrie is just glad she was there at the right moment. She is surrounded by thoughts of coming upon the scene even a few seconds too late.

While this was undoubtedly a terrible moment for this mom-to-be, it could have been so much worse. We’re grateful that Kyrie was there, and that she was able to be the angel this baby needed in this moment. Something tells us she’s going to be a very wonderful mother!
