Boy survives 30ft plunge out of window

The mother of a 18-month-old boy who plunged 30 feet from a second-floor window told today how she feared her son would die from his injuries.

Adam Burroughs survived after falling from the window at his Enfield home. Doctors fear he may suffer vision problems after suffering injuries above his left eye.

His mother, Kelly Flanaghan, who rushed downstairs to find her son bleeding heavily from the head, said she was worried he would not survive. The 35-year-old, who lives with Adam's father Chris and sister Enola, four, said her son just seemed to vanished.

She said: "I saw the window was open. I looked down and he was there on the floor... moaning."

Adam was taken to the Royal Free Hospital on January 11 before going to the Great Ormond Street.
