A little girl was airlifted to the hospital Tuesday after she tumbled from a second-story window in Oceanside.
A 26-year-old babysitter was in the bathroom when the 6-year-old girl playing near a window fell out in the 1300 block of Buena Street at about 5:45 p.m., according to Oceanside police.
Falling face-first, the child missed the brick wall standing next to the house but landed on the concrete sidewalk.
Emergency crews told police the girl was bleeding from her nose and mouth because of facial injuries and possible fractured bones.
She was flown to Rady Children's Hospital for very significant injuries, though police say they are optimistic she will survive because she was conscious and talking while she was transported.
The incident is a wake up call to the other parents and grandparents in the neighborhood.
“Hopefully she is doing good. She is in the hospital right now, so hopefully she is doing good. It makes us react to our safety in our own home. We're like, wow. Sometimes we can turn around and we are doing something and it just happens in a blink of and eye,” neighbor Jose Hernandez said.

At the time of the fall, the victim's mother was working in Vista.
Police say this was not a case of neglect, so they are investigating it as an accident.
