Both kids were taken to Rady Children's Hospital with what a San Diego fire department spokesman said were acute injuriesFirst responders were called out Thursday afternoon afternoon when a pair of children fell from a second-story window in Logan Heights.
Both childen were taken to Rady Children's Hospital after the fall from an apartment building near the intersection of Bancroft Street and Ocean View Boulevard. A fire department spokeswoman said they were believed to have suffered acute injuries.The area was cordoned off with crime scene tape after the incident, with several patrol cars on scene. The area blocked off was above a rear concrete driveway and series of carports.
“Areas that are impacted socioeconomically have more apartment buildings, which can go higher, and there's no regulations or legislation right now in California or San Diego County that require any sort of safety mechanism on those windows,” said Matt Derkrikorian, Rady Children’s trauma program manager.“The screens are not going to stop them from falling through,” said Roxanna Barajas Arenas, parent and community educator with Children’s Initiative.
They recommend you only open your window four inches. The summer months when more windows are open tend to be the worst for falls in San Diego, but doctors hope this summer will be different. The Children’s Initiative works directly with schools to facilitate its free workshops. If any parents are interested, they should let their child’s school know so they can set up a class.The first Mexican taco stand to get a Michelin star is a tiny business where the heat makes the meat
