Authorities in Shelby, N.C., said that the girl watched the movie and then crawled onto a kitchen counter, straddled a broom and then jumped off.

The injured girl was at a neighbor's house when she tried to fly away on the broom.

Her mother reportedly left her in the care of a 14-year-old boy for less than an hour while she went out for food, Local 6 News reported.

The victim was listed in critical condition this weekend, according to the report.
