纽约布朗克斯2岁女童从5楼窗户坠亡：疑推开空调隔板跌出，警方称不涉犯罪
纽约——位于美国纽约州纽约市布朗克斯区的莫特黑文（Mott Haven）社区11月3日晚发生一起幼童坠楼惨剧：一名2岁女童从一栋公寓楼5楼的窗户坠下，送医后不治身亡。纽约市警察局表示，事件不涉及犯罪行为，调查仍在进行中。
警方说，事发地点位于东138街572号、近圣安斯大道的一栋公寓楼顶层，时间约为当晚10时45分。女童被发现时倒在楼旁的小巷中、失去意识，被紧急送往哈莱姆医院，终因伤势过重死亡。执法部门消息人士称，女童当时在摆弄窗式空调旁边的手风琴式隔板，疑似把隔板推开、从空调与窗框之间的空隙跌出窗外。
女童的父亲查扬·波兰科（Chayanne Polanco）11月5日对媒体表示，女儿名叫朱莉娅（Julia Cante Wilcox-Polanco），性格活泼好动、喜欢攀爬，事发时他正在技术学校上课、学习当电工；他在医院见到女儿时，悲痛难以承受。楼旁的小巷如今已设起悼念角。
纽约市法律要求家中有10岁及以下儿童的住所安装窗户防护栏，但窗式空调两侧的活动隔板并不具备防护功能。警方尚未公布这户公寓防护栏的安装情况，女童如何到达窗边空隙的确切经过仍待调查确认。（来源：纽约市警察局）
Bronx Toddler, 2, Dies After Falling From a Fifth-Floor Window: Police Say She Slipped Past an Air-Conditioner Panel and No Criminality Is Suspected
New York — A 2-year-old girl died after falling from a fifth-floor apartment window in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City, late on Tuesday, November 3. The New York City Police Department said no criminality was suspected and that the investigation was ongoing.
Police said the fall happened at about 10:45 p.m. from the top floor of a building at 572 East 138th Street, near St. Ann's Avenue. The child was found unconscious in an alleyway beside the building and was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where she died of her injuries. Law enforcement sources said the toddler had been fiddling with the accordion-style divider beside a window air-conditioning unit and apparently pushed it aside, slipping through the gap between the unit and the window frame.
The girl's father, Chayanne Polanco, told reporters on November 5 that his daughter, Julia Cante Wilcox-Polanco, was a super energetic, bubbly child who loved to climb, and that he was at tech school studying to become an electrician when she fell. A memorial has since been set up in the alleyway where she landed.
New York City law requires approved window guards in homes with children aged 10 and under, but the adjustable side panels of a window air conditioner provide no such protection. Police have not released details about the window guards in the apartment, and the exact circumstances that brought the child to the opening remain under investigation.
