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.

香蕉视频直播淭aryn is a lucky, lucky girl,香蕉视频直播� 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 family香蕉视频直播檚 Langley townhouse, said Lim.

Her mother told her to come out, but the second time, Taryn didn香蕉视频直播檛 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 香蕉视频直播渟creaming香蕉视频直播� when she got in touch with him by phone. She told him Taryn had fallen onto the concrete.

香蕉视频直播淎s soon as I heard that, I thought, 香蕉视频直播極h my god, she香蕉视频直播檚 not going to make it,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� 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.

香蕉视频直播淚 was getting ready to say goodbye when I got there,香蕉视频直播� 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.

Lim香蕉视频直播檚 family is incredibly grateful that their youngest child will be okay.

He said in the past, he香蕉视频直播檚 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 Children香蕉视频直播檚 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 Children香蕉视频直播檚 Hospital offers the following tips for safety:

香蕉视频直播� Move furniture and planters 香蕉视频直播� or anything that can be climbed on 香蕉视频直播� away from windows.

香蕉视频直播� Install window guards on windows above the ground floor. Fasten windows so that they cannot open more than 10 centimetres wide. Ensure there香蕉视频直播檚 a safety release in case of fire.

香蕉视频直播� 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.

香蕉视频直播� Remember that screens keep bugs out, not children in! Screens are easily pushed out.

香蕉视频直播� Don香蕉视频直播檛 underestimate a child香蕉视频直播檚 mobility; children begin climbing before they can walk.
