I think I am missing something here. I’ve lived here 58 years and it’s been a constant parade of kids drowning . What was the story here? Was there a babysitter out there watching the little. one? the parents? Why are they not being charged or at least reprimanded or something for having a child alone by a pool while they should be under the care of an adult. If they are supervising children or even non swimmers, there is NOTHING as important as keeping your eyes on the pool.
If the parents weren't divorced before this incident, they will be now
Maybe it's time to leave pools to the professionals. It looks like your average homeowner lacks the skills.
