[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accidental drowning is like the leading cause of death in kids under 2. I have literally nothing positive to say about the parents here, I honestly don't know much about them, but what I do know [b]is that this type of accident can happen to anyone. It is like hot car deaths,[/b] where people like to pontificate about how it couldn't happen to them but the reality is that it can and it happens to good parents and bad parents all alike.

Anyone who is saying they literally ALWAYS had eyes on their child is fooling themselves. Most of us are fortunate in that those moments where kids slipped away didn't end in tragedy. [/quote]

No it can’t. People who keep eyes on their kids at all times at other people’s houses, especially with pools, don’t have this happen to them. People like to say it can happen to anyone to make them feel better but it’s not true. In those cases mistakes were made. If you’re watching your child appropriately it can’t happen that they drown in a pool.[/quote]

You are wrong. I study drowning for a living. Kids have drowned when their parents were using the bathroom.

The key (proven in other countries) is to require four sided (aka isolation) fencing, with a self closing self latching gate around backyard pools.

Legislators are at fault for not requiring this proven measure, to prevent the leading cause of death for toddlers in America.

They deserve protection   Regardless of how informed, mature, sober or responsible their caretakers are. [/quote]

We have this isolation fencing with a self-latching gate but you wouldn't believe how many times I have to remind people, including the gardening crew and pool cleaner, NOT to prop open the gate. Soon we will be getting a pool cover as an additional layer of protection. [/quote]

You will absolutely love the pool cover!  In addition to keeping out leaves/animals and maintaining the pool temp, it is a huge comfort to me as a parent of young kids who has a pool. Ours is automatic - it opens and closes with the touch of a button - and is made to withstand 400 lbs (not that I want to test it). Had this homeowner had a pool cover on, their daughter would still be here. [/quote]
