Providence ER treats 3 kids who fell from windows
EVERETT -- Providence Regional Medical Center Everett said in the past week, they have treated three children who had fallen from second-story windows. Two were discharged home with minor injuries, while one was transferred for a higher level of care.
Safe Kids Snohomish County wants to remind parents and caregivers that window screens are designed to keep bugs out, not kids in.
They said you should move furniture away from windows and balconies so that windows are outside of a child's reach or climbing distance. Parents should also consider buying a stop so windows cannot open more than four inches.
