re: 'Prayer Baby' drowns in church's baptism tank

The kid may have had no idea what it was and walked in to it.

ETA There a lot of things we do not know, so it's hard to say who is at fault for what.

Would this child be alive if not for the church possessing an attractive nuisance capable of causing death to said child?

I'd call that a death trap.

I'm guessing you're not that familiar with 22 month old kids. As was pointed out above, almost anything is a death trap to them if left unattended.

You're focusing on the baptismal in this child's death when the real cause was the fact the child was left unattended. You literally cannot take your eyes off them for a second at that age or something like this can and will happen. And it does not have to be a pool of water, it can be any number of common things laying around just about anywhere.
