MySpacing Mom Gets Probation After Toddler Falls From Window

A Fayette County woman who police said was busy on MySpace.com when her 3-year-old daughter fell from a second-floor apartment window, fracturing her skull, has been sentenced to probation.

Amanda Lee Palo, 26, of Uniontown, was sentenced to one year of probation Tuesday in Fayette County Court. She previously pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment.

Police said Palo was on MySpace.com in April 2008 when Hannah Marie Young fell 11 feet and hit an air conditioner and concrete patio at the Surrey Hill Apartment complex. She's since recovered.

Police said Hannah and her three siblings were throwing compact discs from the window before she fell.

The children are in foster care and Palo has been taking parenting classes.
