Probably, but I doubt she gets enough money to retire on. Her hands are dirty too, with the arrest. It's a tried and true example of both sides were irresponsible and share negligence.

You know she is going to sue. But,

quote:

"They walked up to the pool and saw the mother sitting on the edge of the pool looking outward toward the deeper end area of the pool, and also observed the water to be still and calm, no flapping or splashing or bubbles in the water," Irving police Officer James McLellan said
.

I would say it was a recovery and not a rescue.

Sorry, had to take a phone call.


Has Dr RC completely absolved this mother of all liability of letting her children drown yet?

this is accurate. apt complex is also going down.

my son works at sams club and they are FREAKY about spills..so much so every single employee carries around a little folded diaper than can absorb like 2 gallons of water.


i know because i washed his pants one time and he left it in them and i was like WTF is that thing coming out of the washer?

point is apt complex doesn't really have a leg to stand on here.

I'm not trying to completely absolve her at all.

But for for it to 100% be on her when the pool was so cloudy they couldn't see a drowned kid at the bottom is wrong.

The ratio of blame from mother to apt complex is at least 20:1

That's probably extremely generous

I agree the pool shouldn't be that cloudy but she should have never lost site of them to begin with. I put it on her 99% and the pool 1%

No kids for me, CAD.

I was wondering about this as well...so they literally left the kids soaking in the pool all the way up until the call was made and first responders showed up? WTF?

You would think that as soon as someone noticed they were missing they would have piled into the pool and pulled them out to try to save them. For all they knew, they might have been able to save one or more. Odd that they were just all "yup, they dead...I ain't goin in to pull them out".

If you can't see to the bottom of a "pool" and your children can not swim well enough to keep from drowning, do not: 1)let them swim in that nasty pool
2) leave them unattended in the pool

Or she may have drowned them...

Not that the complex doesn't have responsibilities but I bet there was a sign saying "swim at your own risk" or something to that effect
