Very sad. My granddaughter fell in the pool yesterday too looking for eggs. Thank god she knows how to swim. If you have a pool one should try to teach children to swim before they can walk. Prayers.

Personal pools need to be outlawed too. They are definitely just a luxury, but around 300 children are killed a year in them. FAR MORE than mass shootings at schools. Pool Control Now! (raised fist)
