Police: Caregivers failed to seek help after 2-year-old fell out window

BUTLER, Pa. — Police in Butler said caregivers never sought help after a 2-year-old boy fell out of a second-story window.

The boy reportedly fell out the window and landed on a concrete slab at some point overnight, but 911 was not contacted until 1 p.m.

Another child in the room heard him fall and went down to rescue him. She brought the toddler inside and immediately told her parents.

It wasn't until 12 hours later when someone who knows the family alerted police, who went to the house and found bruises and bumps all over the boy.

Butler police are interviewing the couple, who they say were babysitting the boy.
