  • now they want a pool fence to be constructed around a blowup wading puddle. We know we are talking about the generation of parents that keep running over thier kids who then go on a pity party of feigned empowerment of writing books and becoming self appointed experts to advise others not to run over thier kids. Just like has been olympians.

  • Gee not much info and detail analysis about the unfortunate death of the 330 kid drowning, like how many supervised drowning, as @Rich said? All this was is a story about Samantha Riley, typical headline grabbing by grubby press.

  • 330 Parents or Guardians that were not watching their 5 year olds.
    Wonder how many supervised drownings there were.
