HARTFORD, Conn. — A 2-year-old boy from Hartford who fell from a third-story building this weekend has died, police announced Monday.
The boy fell from a window of a building in the 1100 block of Capital Ave. just after 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Police said the toddler was not being supervised at the time of the fall and that his parents were not at home.
After his fall, the boy was taken to a local hospital for treatment and police said that he was not expected to survive.
The boy's mother, identified as 34-year-old Tabitha Frank, was arrested and charged with 10 counts of risk of injury to a child. She has posted a bond and is due in court in August.
Four other children that were present at the apartment at the time of the incident were left in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.
The boy's father was also taken into custody.
Police said the apartment was in a "deplorable and uninhabitable condition" at the time of the incident.
