Boy Falls 30 Feet Through Texas Church Roof
BELLAIRE, Texas --
A boy was hospitalized after he fell through the roof of a church in Bellaire.
Bellaire police said three boys were playing on the rood of the Bellaire United Methodist Church on Bellaire Boulevard near Newcastle Street at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
One of the boys fell through a skylight and landed inside the church. A wooden bench broke his approximately 30-foot fall.
The church's pastor said children often play on the roof of the church.
"We want kids to be a part of what we do," the Rev. Valerie Hudson said. "We just want them to be here when we're here."
The boy was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. He was expected to be OK.
The other two boys were taken into police custody. Charges were pending against the boys.
