The father of a two-year-old Langley girl who broke her leg and lost two teeth in a tumble out of a third-storey window is urging other parents to secure their homes.

91裸聊视频淭aryn is a lucky, lucky girl,91裸聊视频� said Sean Lim.

On Monday, Aug. 8, his daughter, who is a couple of months shy of three years old, was with her mother Sally Jo, getting ready for a play date.

The little girl was hiding behind the curtains in the master bedroom of the family91裸聊视频檚 Langley townhouse, said Lim.

Her mother told her to come out, but the second time, Taryn didn91裸聊视频檛 come from behind the curtains. Jo looked out the window to discover that Taryn had fallen three storeys. She called 9-1-1.

Lim said his wife was 91裸聊视频渟creaming91裸聊视频� when she got in touch with him by phone. She told him Taryn had fallen onto the concrete.

91裸聊视频淎s soon as I heard that, I thought, 91裸聊视频極h my god, she91裸聊视频檚 not going to make it,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Lim said.

While he rushed home from work in North Vancouver, Langley Township firefighters and multiple B.C. Emergency Health Services paramedics were rushing to the home. Taryn was taken to hospital via Air Ambulance helicopter.

91裸聊视频淚 was getting ready to say goodbye when I got there,91裸聊视频� Lim said.

Fortunately, her injuries were much less serious than they could have been.

Taryn has a broken leg, and two broken teeth had to be extracted. She has some other bumps and bruises, but was released from hospital and returned home on Thursday, Aug. 11.

Lim91裸聊视频檚 family is incredibly grateful that their youngest child will be okay.

He said in the past, he91裸聊视频檚 seen coverage of children being injured, and has blamed the parents, thinking he and his wife were cautious and nothing would happen. They had warned their children about the dangers of windows, and even demonstrated the risk of a fall with a dropped teddy bear.

As far as they can tell, Taryn used the curtains and a baseboard heater to climb up to the window, which was open in the summer heat.

Lim has already purchased window locks for all the windows in their home, which can keep the windows from opening more than 10 centimeters. He urges all other parents of young children to do the same.

So far this year, 11 children have been treated at BC Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital after falling from a window, and in 2021, 16 children from infants to 15-year-olds were treated for falls from high elevations. Two of those children died.

BC Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital offers the following tips for safety:

91裸聊视频� Move furniture and planters 91裸聊视频� or anything that can be climbed on 91裸聊视频� away from windows.

91裸聊视频� Install window guards on windows above the ground floor. Fasten windows so that they cannot open more than 10 centimetres wide. Ensure there91裸聊视频檚 a safety release in case of fire.

91裸聊视频� Talk to your children about the dangers of opening or playing near windows, particularly on upper floors of the home or in a high-rise dwelling.

91裸聊视频� Remember that screens keep bugs out, not children in! Screens are easily pushed out.

91裸聊视频� Don91裸聊视频檛 underestimate a child91裸聊视频檚 mobility; children begin climbing before they can walk.
