Alla Kournikova, mother of tennis star Anna Kournikova, is facing child neglect charges after her five-year-old son Allan fell out of a second-story window in Alla Kournikova's Palm Beach home.

Alla Kournikova had left Allan home alone while she was out running errands. After falling out the window, the child soothed his injuries by going into the swimming pool, still unattended. Neighbors found Allen crying and bleeding, and called the police. After investigating the house and bringing the child to the hospital for treatment, the police arrested Alla Kournikova for child neglect, which is a felony charge.

"She advised she deadbolted the residence and left him with a phone."

According to police, he jumped some 15 feet down while barefoot, landing on some side-yard stone between two air-conditioning units.

"The child stated he hung by his hands before letting go," the report said.
