Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

A 3-year-old girl on vacation in Oregon with her family tumbled through a fence at the top of a cliff and nearly fell off the edge.

Alaina Pitton and her sisters were posing for a photo in Portland, with the Pacific Ocean and 150-foot cliff in the background, when she suddenly lost her footing.

The little girl took a step back and fell through the fence, disappearing amid the tall grasses. An adult cousin rushed to grab the child, who came to rest right at the edge of the precipice.

The family's video camera captured the entire frightening ordeal. The toddler was scared, but not hurt.
