Happened on my old street. Just moved from there 6 months ago. Sad... There were a lot of kids in that age range on that street. Prayers for the victim and the family.

Prayers to all involved.

Ashamed as I am to admit this, I think I should share a recent story to advise any other parents.

I was at a friends pool the other day with my 3 year old. Her float vest was bothering her so I had let her take it off since she only had her feet in the water sitting on the edge, ontop of the steps. 8 of us were all siting around in a circle, 1/2 of the people facing the pool and within 2 feet of her. No one was drinking.
She fell in and not a single person heard her fall in or actually saw her fall. I happen to look over and saw her under water in desperation and jumped in. She was only about 2 inches from the top so she must have just fallen in and was ok, but still.... It can happen so fast and I will never forget that look she had on her face. All parents, please be careful around the pool and require your kids to wear their floaties the entire time. I do not know how I could live with myself if she had been in any longer with all of us just feet away. I was an idiot and will never make a mistake like that again.

I can't even imagine what that family is going through and my prayers are with them. I know sometimes this goes overlooked but please pray for the first responders that work these types of calls. I know the guys that responded last night and it definitely affects them. Tragic situation.
