Toddler Critically Injured After Fall from Third-Story Window. Neighbor Remembers Hearing Woman in the Building Scream
"When there's children involved, my heart goes out," a neighbor saidNEED TO KNOW A 3-year-old child is in serious, but stable condition after falling from a third-story apartment window in Boston on Aug. 11 Officers arrived to find the toddler conscious and in bed "with his limbs sprawled out" An investigation is ongoingA 3-year-old child was seriously injured after falling out of a third-story window of an apartment building in Boston, authorities said. On Monday, Aug. 11, at 9:20 p.m. local time, officials received a report that a child had fallen out of a window that was three stories up in an apartment on Evans Street in the neighborhood of Dorchester, the Boston Police Department said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. The toddler was transported to a local children's hospital and is in critical, but stable condition. As of Tuesday, Aug. 12, 'the child is no longer in life-threatening condition,' authorities said. A neighbor, Kelly Bransfield, told ABC affiliate WCVB she heard a woman from the building screaming. "I just hope for the family's sake and for the child that everything turns out to be okay," Bransfield told the outlet. "When there's children involved, my heart goes out," she continued. "I've got children and grandchildren, and, you know, this is the summertime. They should be having fun, not [lying] in a hospital." When officers arrived at the scene, they found the child conscious and in bed "with his limbs sprawled out,' according to the incident report reviewed by PEOPLE. The 3-year-old child was having trouble breathing, with injuries and swelling on the entire left side of the upper body. The child had fallen from the kitchen window, according to the report.

Carlos Prates hasn't quit smoking, but says it won't stop him from being the first to KO Geoff Neal in the UFC
Carlos Prates is one of the more unique characters on the Fighting Nerds' team, which says a lot. The Brazilian welterweight contender has been a thrilling finisher throughout his UFC run, but was met with some resistance in his latest Octagon appearance. He'll get a chance to right the ship when he meets Geoff Neal in Chicago at UFC 319 on Saturday. The unanimous decision loss to Ian Machado Garry in UFC Kansas City's main event forced Prates to reevaluate his approach to fights, and maybe more so, how he executes his game plans. It was his first time going beyond the third round in his 28-fight career, and despite his questionable, but admitted love of smoking cigarettes, Prates didn't feel overly slowed or tired by the 25-minute mark. Regardless, don't expect the Fighting Nerds slugger to break his habit, as he still smokes roughly eight cigarettes daily. "Sometimes I start to smoke a little bit less, but it's hard," Prates said Monday on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show." "I get really excited, and I want to eat. I cannot eat pizza all day, so I prefer to smoke rather than have some problem with making weight. "I like to smoke before I go to the stadium. We cannot smoke in the locker room. Smoke before, then I go there." Prates can be commended for attempting to live a healthier lifestyle, but the cigarettes have yet to affect his performances. From an in-fight perspective, Prates believes that his recent lessons taught him to adapt and shift his speed. If he wants to be a champion, that might mean toning down his violent intentions. "The way I think to win the fight [might change]," Prates said. "On the level we are right now, the really high level, some small mistakes make a difference at the end of the fight. So it's time to sometimes think less about entertaining and more about winning. Not go for knockouts, you know what I mean? It's not only about bonuses. I want to finish the fight the way it's going to bring me a bonus. First, a win bonus is really nice. Getting the win is most important. I think it's changed a little bit in my mind." Prates' improvements will be tested by his next opponent Neal. Initially, the matchup was supposed to come at UFC 314 in April. Unfortunately for Neal, he was forced out of the bout for undisclosed reasons, which bumped Prates into his headliner opposite Garry at UFC Kansas City. Prates will have his hands full with his fellow striker in Neal. "Hands of Stone" has given some of the division's best all they can handle while staying relevant in his own right. Although Neal lives up to his moniker, he's also a durable foe with no knockout losses in the UFC. For Prates, Neal's history of avoiding knockouts adds a little extra motivation. "I'm really good at knocking people out who have never been knocked out before," Prates said. "I won the belt off the biggest show in Brazil, and I knocked out the guy. He was southpaw, so I'm really good fighting against southpaws, and he was never knocked out, and I was the first to knock him out. When I fought Li Jingliang, he was never knocked out in his career, not only UFC. I was the first one. Saturday night, I'm going to be the first one to knock Geoff Neal out for the first time in the UFC. "Nothing personal against him, it's just because it's the way I like to fight. I'm a striker and I like to knock people out. ... I know how to do that, that's my best."
