An Iowa woman is being hailed as a hero after she saved a 2-year-old boy from falling out of a second-story window. Kyrie Jones, who was 33 weeks pregnant at the time, noticed the toddler dangerously leaning out of the window and throwing things outside. Despite her attempts to get the attention of the child’s mother, Jones received no response. Fearing for the toddler’s safety, she quickly called the police and positioned herself beneath the window. Moments later, the boy lost his grip and fell, but Jones managed to catch him just in time, preventing a tragic accident. The incident is now under investigation, but Jones is relieved that the child is safe.
Kyrie Jones was out walking her dog when she noticed a PlayStation and a window screen on the ground near her neighbor’s townhouse. Initially thinking it was just some cleaning taking place, she soon realized that a toddler was leaning out of the window and throwing things. Jones immediately tried to get the attention of the child’s mother but received no response. Realizing the imminent danger, she called the police and positioned herself beneath the window to catch the child if he fell. Her quick thinking paid off when the boy lost his grip and she caught him just before he hit the ground. Despite minor bruises on Jones’s thighs, both she and the toddler were unharmed.
The incident has raised concerns about child safety and the need for vigilance. Authorities have confirmed that the mother left the child unsupervised for a brief period, although she was elsewhere in the townhouse. The incident has been reported to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and an investigation is underway. While no charges have been filed against the mother at this time, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping a close eye on children to prevent accidents. Kyrie Jones’ heroic actions have been widely praised, and she is grateful to have been in the right place at the right time to save the toddler’s life.
