[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the bigger concern is social events where everyone assumes someone else is keeping an eye on a young child.  That’s the higher risk scenario. [/quote]

This happened in our family 30 years ago - big family party, suddenly realized no one knew where the kid was (I think he was 4).... he was stuck under the solar cover on my uncles pool.  Apparently he went in (assume he didn’t fall since someone would have heard that) and slipped under the solar cover and it was too heavy for him to get out from underneath.  I don’t know how they figured it out so quickly but he was totally blue when he was pulled out and luckily had no lasting injuries.  So scary and something that has stuck with me as I became a parent.[/quote]

That’s amazing that he was okay.  I used to live in NY where there is a small chain of specialty grocery stores called Stew Leonard’s, and the family lost a small child that way during a party.  I was always haunted by their story.  They have a foundation focused on preventing such accidents in the future - https://stewietheduck.org/[/quote]
