It’s not only small and light, it’s made of rubber
You have to have a heart of stone not to crack a smile at this tale of death-defying baby-hood. Thirteen-month old baby boy Lavonta Clark - mother Lawanda, sister Latonia (Bob Cosby would not be happy) - “survived a drop from a third-story window. Amazingly, a couple of scratches and a bump on the back of his head are his only injuries.”
The “drop” was inflicted by an 11-year old boy who had had enough of Lavonta’s crying. You know how it is when you are eleven. Crying baby ... open window ... end of problem. Except this time the problem had its fall broken by bushes and cushioned by soft mud. Result: Lavonta’s screaming even louder and you’ve got a new addition to the rap sheet. But now you know why guns are good.
Mum Lawanda appears to have wandered away, possibly to “get some things together.” She needed to give some money to her landlord. It is not known if the things produced any money. It is known that she had left her baby in the charge of the eleven-year felon’s aunt who ... well anyway, that’s the way they like to do things in Cincinnati. From here on, though, Lawanda is going to “focus” on her son. She would do well to focus on the 11-year old, too.
