[Anonymous]

Is there any uglier trait than filling in smug judgment where your heartfelt sympathy is supposed to be?

Agreed.

You both are heartless.

Nope, just practical. The mother of this child? Was posting gleefully about a honeymoon sans kids and working on her abs 4 days before her 3rd child died.

I wonder where she was while he was falling into the pool and dying alone.

JFC I have seen a lot of shit comments here but you really take the cake. So a mother can’t enjoy exercise or a child free trip without her kid deserving to die? You are awful. Truly.

So to those of you making these disgusting comments about this situation, I will keep your children’s safety in my prayers as you are all very ignorant.

Doesn't your logic mean you shouldn't have a car if you have a young child???

We all take risks. Pools require mitigating the risks by securing them from young children. Do you mitigate the risk of leaving your child in a car by keeping your purse in the backsest or having an alarm system?

Life has risks. Parents have to minimize risks by having redindant safety measures.

You think a pool is on the same level of necessity as a car is in most communities, huh?

Bodie Miller and his wife, Morgan Beck, lost their precious 19 month old daughter, Emiline, in a drowning accident last year.

Morgan has warned parents "Always be aware of water and place as many barriers between your child and those bodies of water as possible (locks, door alarms, pool fences, etc)."

Not that pp, but we live in Florida and enjoy our pool from spring to early fall. What might seem optional in colder climates becomes pretty darned necessary in a more tropical environment. Our pool is fenced with a locking gate. No small child is going to wander onto our pool deck and fall in.

The Smiths live in Texas where it can also get relentlessly hot during the summer time. They may have all been outside playing in the pool when this happened. I don't know what happened but my heart goes out to that family. What a tragedy.

An acquaintance lost her 2 year old son to drowning while he was playing near a stream that ran through their backyard. Another acquaintance lost her 16-year-old to drowning when he was swimming in a lake with a friend. He knew how to swim but couldn't cross a difficult section (got tired).

I am wary of any body of water with my kids now.

The only person who deserves sympathy is the child who this lazy narcissist and her loser husband let drown because they needed to show off with a house pool. Go cry elsewhere.

Literally nothing you wrote is worthwhile. Their child died because they didn’t want to be hot in the summer. That sounds like a worthwhile tradeoff to you? Are you stupid?

You have no idea what kinds of precautions these people took with their pool. The mom could have been right there for all you know and her son simply slipped under the water without her realizing it. Drowning happens silently and quickly and it's the sort of thing could happen anywhere - community pools, rec center pools, hotel pools, plastic kiddie pools, etc.

By that logic only selfish people would take their children on beach vacations, to hotel swimming pools or anywhere near a body of water. Ever.

Having a backyard pool is not dangerous if you have good safety measures in place. You might as well accuse parents of being lazy narcissists for having bathtubs in their homes.

Right. Because a bathtub remains filled with water at all times. Um, what?

A 3 year old could turn on the water faucet. Most 3 year olds are potty trained or in the process of being potty trained so they could easily be in the bathroom unattended at times and would have the opportunity to fill up the tub with water. That would be easier than trying to scale a pool fence.
