... he saw the third-floor window was wide open and a little girl was hanging outside. Two other kids were holding onto her by her arms as she dangled outside the window.

At 6:30 last night, Robert Lemire was chatting on his cell phone, talking about coaching his daughter's softball team this spring.

But when he looked across the street, Lemire quickly realized someone else's daughter was going to need his help first.

A child was dangling out of a third-story window at 700 Haverhill St., and Lemire, without thinking about his own safety, bolted across the busy street to help the toddler. Then, with help from Alex Day, another Good Samaritan, the two men caught 11/2-year-old Caliah Clark as she fell about 40 feet into their waiting arms.

"I've only seen something like that on TV," said Lemire, a Methuen father of two girls, ages 13 and 16.

Police last night credited the hustle of the two men with saving the girl as she hung from the apartment window.

5. The two older kids need therapy.

They threw the toys out first, then the baby? That's sibling rivalry taken to the extreme.

Thank God I don't have kids! What a nightmare for the mother. I hope they guard that baby from her siblings.

9. Sorry but I had to post this picture - This is what I thought about when I read the story:

Is this something that may have given the kids the idea? Who knows, but it is still ridiculous!
