The fall was reported at about 2 p.m., according to WPXI.
According to the child's grandmother, the boy and his brother managed to unlock a second-floor bathroom window. The 3-year-old then crawled out and slipped off the roof and hit his head.

"I told them not to go out there because I have to lock the window before because they climbed out onto the roof, so I went up and I locked the window," Helen Houck said.
The 3-year-old was conscious and crying when he was taken to an area hospital. He was listed in critical but stable condition, police said.
Police are investigating.
