[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So based on that, maybe there was a tall toy next to the pool gate? Or otherwise was able to get inside the gate?[/quote] Probably the gate was left ajar. We don't know how careful these people were. Most people don't comprehend how deadly pools are for children. It only takes a couple seconds for them to silently slip in the water, and only another minute or so to drown. They can also appear to be safe after being pulled out from a near drowning and die hours later if the water isn't removed from the lungs. I remember when my daughter was around 16 months old she slipped into grandma's backyard koi pond (<2 feet deep) when her dad turned his back for 5 seconds. Shed been right next to him just moments earlier. When he turned back around he saw her head lowering into the water and jumped in and pulled her out. She didn't splash or make a peep. That's how fast and quietly it can happen.[/quote]
