[quote=Anonymous][img] il[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Closing a pool gate when toddlers are around is not the same thing as a bowl of wrapped candy bars, some of which contain nuts, to a group of 11 year olds!

Parents who think the world is responsible for their kid with nut allergies would be better never leaving their side.[/quote]

The world? No. The adults who voluntarily take responsibility for our children knowing they have serious allergies? Absolutely.

And yes, serving a bowl of candy with nuts to a kid with allergies is exactly as irresponsible as leaving a pool gate open when you’ve got toddlers around. Maybe it will be fine! And maybe it really won’t. And either way you have a dead child in your house with no one to blame but yourself.[/quote]

Not the same at all. A toddler can’t take any responsibility for themself. An 11 year old can and should. If your tween child has the capacity of a toddler, you’ve got more serious problems than an allergy. Amazing parenting. Slow clap. [/quote]

My daughter could swim at 3. So at that point in your logic it would have been fine for her to have been left unattended by a pool?

Eleven is a child. When you have a child in your home, you’re responsible for their safety. This isn’t a grey area, this isn’t a matter of opinion, if something had happened to the child it would have been 100% OPs responsibility. [/quote]

My child also could swim at three. I didn’t let her stay at the pool without an attentive adult at that age. 
At 10, our pool lets kids stay without an adult if they pass a swim test. She passed and started going alone. 
An 11 year old typically developed child ça and should handle their food allergies well enough to decline food that is not safe. Yes, even during a movie.
