DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Four-year-old Isaac is in critical condition after falling out of a window in Dorchester Wednesday afternoon, according the Boston Police Department.

“He opened the gate that was blocking my window, and he opened the window, and he leaned out, and boom. He fell out the window,” said the boy’s mother, Erika Moon, through tears. “I heard the boom, so I went running down, and I picked him up. And he wasn’t breathing.”
