Toddler Falls From 15th Floor Of MD Apartment Building

A two-year-old boy fell from the 15th-floor balcony of the Enclave Apartments in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, shortly before 2:15 p.m. On Thursday.
The fall occurred at the 11200 block of Oak Leaf Drive when the toddler was alone on the balcony while adults were inside the apartment, prompting emergency response.
Fire and rescue teams discovered the toddler resting among shrubs, which Montgomery County police indicated helped cushion his fall and likely prevented more serious harm; he was subsequently transported to Children's National Hospital.
Assistant Chief Daniel Ogren said the child has a broken arm but is awake, alert, and has only minor injuries otherwise, with officials calling his survival 'miraculous.'
No legal actions have been initiated, and the case is still being actively examined, while local authorities have reached out to the family and committed to providing ongoing assistance.
