Gotcha! Woman catches toddler who fell from fourth floor
April 22nd, 2011 - 5:00 pm ICT by IANSLondon, April 22 (IANS) A woman managed to catch a baby girl who fell from a fourth-floor balcony of a hotel in the US. The baby didn’t even suffer a scratch on her body, it was reported here Friday.
Fortyfour-year-old Helen Beard was sitting by the swimming pool at Econo Lodge hotel in Orlando Wednesday when she noticed a baby girl hanging from the balcony.
Beard promptly ran to a spot just below the child and watched as she fell.
Sixteen-month-old Jah-Nea Myles hit the third-floor balcony and then landed squarely into Beard’s outstretched hands.
“I’m thanking the Lord above right now for saving my child’s life. I’m also thanking that lady because she was an angel sent from heaven,” the child’s mother Helena Myles was quoted as saying.
Medical personnel said the baby had no injuries and was in good health.
“She’s perfectly fine. Not a scratch on her body,” said Myles.
