Teen Injured by Jumper May Have Also Caught a Higher Power

The seventeen-year-old who caught a Queens Center Mall jumper earlier in the week is all checked out after being readmitted to a hospital yesterday to have doctors look at his open head wounds and vomiting that was still occurring following Wednesday's incident. But his mother says that Derrick Osario may have some remaining effects spiritually after the accident. Rosarito Osario tells Newsday, "My son was reborn on April 8 again. With this situation, he was born again that day. That could have been him that died." She told the paper that her son has a long Y-shaped cut crossing his head following the collision. When asked about the woman who landed on her son while committing suicide, she said, "We are praying for [the woman], the decision she made to cut her own life, her family." The father of the boy did not speak publicly at the advice of a lawyer that the family has hired.
