Basically, a mom places a 1-year old on a bed which is pushed up against an open window. The baby crawls out of the window and is caught by a postwoman down below.

Who in the world would put their child within crawling reach of an open window, especially one that's not on the ground level? I've made plenty of mistakes as a new parents, but ... yikes.

Thank God the postal carrier was in the right spot at the right time!

However, I think a lot of us could have had similar things happen, if not for the grace of God. I know some of my stupid moments could have turned out very badly.

Do we know if that was the mother though. The video said the mother was too shaken up to be on camera. Yes it was a stupid mistake but we all make stupid mistakes and thankfully this one didn't end in tragedy.

No, those were the babies relatives. The reporter later mentions how the mother of the baby was too shaken up to appear on camera.

I hope the postal worker gets some sort of recognition or reward for saving that baby.

I'm with Maggie on this one.

Praise God that the postal worker was there and was able to think that quickly! But we've all made mistakes and poor parenting choices when it's come to raising our children and I'm pretty certain many of us have could have also endangered our child's very life with those mistakes and choices. But, by the grace of God, all is well.

Let's cut the mother some slack here - I'm sure she feels bad enough about what happened and doesn't need us to make it any worse.

Blessings,

Garsy

I know I've done stupid things with no intention of having my child harmed, and without really thinking about it. We're moms, we're not perfect.
