yep, might as well leave it on the shoulder of the highway and then be shocked and blame the driver of the car who runs it over!

Yeah bc that’s the exact same thing

The mom of the child who threw it is responsible

No. The stupid mother who put her phone down at kiddie pool.

How about the parent not watching poolside a kid not old enough to know better?

Oh didn’t you hear? You don’t have to watch your kids at the kiddie pool. Drowning is nonexistent.

You should work on your reading comprehension. You are truly the only one saying that.

Really?! My mistake.

Guess I’m just confused when plenty of responses have said, it’s just the kiddie pool and they don’t need that much supervision. When drowning was brought up someone called that poster crazy. When asked why the child who threw the phone into the pool wasn’t being watched the responses were it’s a kiddie pool you don’t have to hover. Other responses were the kiddie pool is where children can run free.

Please quote exactly where people said you don’t need to supervise in the kiddie pool. Multiple people have tried to explain to you you can supervise your child without being within arms reach and that toddlers can quickly grab things. It’s like speaking to a rock.
You are a drama queen/king. How do you spend this time on DCUM without being six inches from your child? They must be unsupervised/drowning/choking/dieing because their parent let them run two feet away.

Look I get it. You’re that parent that thinks supervision is occasionally glancing over and then acting shocked when something happens. I get that you relate to the mother whose child tossed the phone bc your child would probably do that too. I’ll be a drama queen if that makes you feel better about your lackadaisical parenting.

When you fail to answer the question and just throw out more insults, you lose credibility. You are making shit up in your own head.

Read through the thread. Read the last few pages.

Insults? You’re the one calling someone a drama queen and comparing them to a rock. And now you’re cussing. Soooo....

New pp and I just read the thread. I didn't see anyone post that you don't need to supervise kids at the pool...

They both set each other up for failure.

If not I’m calling troll on this one. Lively discussion though!

Yep.

OP was called out as a troll by me back on page 12.

Seems like it has pivoted into a back-and-forth discussion among a handful of posters.

It would be interesting to see if these replies are also HII based. I think the higher your HII the more you are willing to pay for your own phone, lower HII think the parents should pay.

Agreed. Mom at fault for leaving phone, but kid ultimately responsible (but, a kid). I'd offer to pay, but if it were in court, that might not hold up (not that I'm suggesting that, but some posters on here seem like they might take it that far - ha!)

I think it's the other way around. Lower HI parents take care of their things. Their phone, their responsibility. Higher HI people think other people should pay for their phone.

If you don't lock your vehicle, is it your fault if I enter it and take everything I want?

Then you also saw where the poster you’re reply too said, you don’t need that much supervision. Carry on.

Simple.

Leaving your phone by the baby pool is a deeply, deeply stupid thing to do.

And yet, it's ultimately (and unfortunately), the parent who is "responsible." Who should pay, or offer to.

No one said supervision is not needed in the baby pool except one poster sarcastically.
The closest is the top of page 12 and that poster said they could be supervised by the side of the pool.
There is a range of supervision between being within arms reach and supervising your child from the edge of the pool. No one on this thread said kids could be unsupervised, except for the poster arguing that someone said it.

If I, as an adult, had walked up and thrown the phone in the pool is it still her fault?

Read. Learn to read. The poster said, they don’t need that much supervision. It’s bolded. Look at the top of this post. The angry mom trying to justify her lacking parenting claimed the poster said kids don’t need supervision. The poster never said that.

I wonder this too.
