Child falls three stories; school pays damages

One normal school day, a fourth grade student decided to use the boy’s comfort room on the third floor to answer the call of nature. Unfortunately, he got locked inside the bathroom due to a defective doorknob and could not get out. Panicking, the scared boy yelled several times for help and even banged and kicked the door, all to no avail.

Consequently, he decided to open the window to call for help but in the process of opening the window, he “went right through and fell down three stories.” The boy was rushed to the hospital where he was confined and given medical treatment for serious multiple physical injuries.
