Apparently upset after his mother barred him from watching the new Spiderman movie, a five-year-old boy jumped off his bedroom window on the 19th floor of building in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Unlike the fictional superhero character of Peter Parker, however, the boy, identified as Valentino, didn't realize he did not have the power to produce web sling that would have made his jump safe and enjoyable.

The police said Valentino died due to severe head injuries and fractured bones, the local media in Indonesia reported.
Police Officer Suyudi Seto said the mother, identified only as Eva, confided to investigators that her son had been asking her to go with him to the movie watch so they could watch Spiderman 2.
The 24-year-old mother, however, said she could not come with Valentino to watch the movie because was also attending to her younger son.
"The boy is a huge Superman fan so he might have been too upset to learn that he could not watch the movie," said Seto.
When his mother turned down his request, Valentino reportedly locked himself in his room for hours and refused to let his mother in.
The police said Eva went to the building's mechanic supervisor on the second floor to ask for help so they can open the room where the boy was holding himself up.
The mother, however, was shocked when she heard reports that someone had fallen off the building.
"When she went out to check who the victim was, the mother was hysterical to see her son on the ground," the police said.
