Moses Lee Bass and Destiny Leeann Randle were arrested and charged with first-degree felony endangering the welfare of a child following the tragic death of their three-year-old son, who fell from an eighth-floor window at Independence Towers in Missouri. The incident occurred when the child, who was reportedly able to bypass safety measures, fell from an unsecured window while the parents were momentarily distracted. Emergency responders found the child unconscious, surrounded by toys, and he died shortly after being transported to the hospital. Investigations revealed that the couple was aware of the window's hazards and had previously attempted to secure it with a makeshift device that their son could easily remove. Local authorities and experts are calling for updated safety regulations regarding window stops in older buildings, as the Independence Towers, built in 1963, lacks such required safety features. The case raises crucial concerns about child supervision and housing safety standards, with the parents potentially facing life in prison if convicted.
