Toddler twins aged 18 months drown in pool of family's Oklahoma mansion

This thread should be fun.

Did they have an 8-month-old brother named Stewie?

[quote]Locklyn and Loreli Callazzo

Tragic names.

Dad smells cookies.

Mom owns a "bow boutique."

At least the great grandma won’t remember it was her fault!

$565,100 buys a MANSION in Oklahoma City?

Seriously though, this is heartbreaking.

What does Alzheimer possess?

At least they go out of Oklahoma. And what was up with that filthy pool?

Apparently, surprises abound

[quote] At least they go out of Oklahoma. And what was up with that filthy pool?

It was the bewitchin' pool.

If a baby can drown in an inch of water, does that mean there were two inches of water in the pool?

Or was this a murder/suicide??

It's not a competition, OP.

Although at that age it is like rolling two bowling balls into a pool, isn't it?

Anyone who refers to Oklahoma City as being in the "South" knows nothing about the South or the history of Oklahoma.

Idiot.

(And Oklahoma City is a horrible place in a horrible state no matter how many former twinks take their shirts off.)

Topics like this force one to ponder the serious questions:

What's preferable, death or a life in Oklahoma?

They can afford a "mansion," yet they already set up a GoFundMe to pay for the funeral?

That’s not a mansion, but a nice house, so it is odd the mom in asking for donations for a GFM. My guess is the grandmother owns the house.

[quote] My guess is the grandmother owns the house.

Perhaps she didn't remember to pay the mortgage?

Which one pushed the other one in, and which one pulled the pusher down with them?

Do they have "a" GoFundMe?

Well, I guess it’s back to the IVF doctor again…

[quote]$565,100 buys a MANSION in Oklahoma City?

Yes, and it would be a fantastic bargain were it not located in OKLAHOMA.

[quote] Callazzo

Italians. Of course.

I need some babies, y’all. They got more than they can handle!

If they weren’t going to put a fence around the pool, they should at least had a cover on it.

That’s common sense.

No fence around the pool?

Murder-suicides are always the worst.

R19 You're not very bright

^^^ I'm not R19, but I'm bright enough not to live in Oklahoma.

Are we sure this wasn’t another father family annihilator who got bored and didn’t finish?

Does someone need me to drop the kids off at the pool?

One of the other kids probably left the door open, but blamed it on grandma. That’s one of the perks of having someone with Alzheimer’s disease living with you.

Damn, they lost the spare as well.

Jenny, a stay-at-home mother who runs a bow boutique, lives at the property with her grandmother, four children and husband Sonny, 42, a marketing executive. (Fixed it for them.)

Could have been worse. They could have been killed by a pit bull.

So....they are going to blame grandma huh ??? Sounds fishy to me. What the hell ever happened to a Mom supposed to Watch Her children ! I would Never put anyone who has alzheimers through having to deal with SIX BRATS. Thats elder abuse .

A large Oklahoma City tract home ≠ a mansion

Dementia Grandmother - 2

Quibble all you want,. It is more home for less money than anyone on the coasts will ever see.

Fewer!

And when I saw that was the moment I stopped giving a shit about the parents.

It’s like a double abortion in the ninth trimester. Were there any drag queens reading stories nearby?

What an ominous looking pool, filled with green and black, slimy algae. I know toddlers are fascinated with water, but that thing looks like something out of a horror movie. I personally wouldn’t go near it!

At least they don’t have to grow up in Oklahoma.

Very reckless to have a pool open to the kids like that. It wasn't just a door. NO FENCE. Right off the patio. Dumbasses.

[quote]the paper that shall not be named

You mean [italic]The Oklahoman[/italic]?

So a couple frau fruit went missing behind a McMansion in bumble fuck.

Ok I’ll bite. Why was Alz-grannie watching two toddlers?

So is that six children now, previously eight, or previously six and now four??

Anyway, that's a crazy amount of kids.

And that's why ISR is so important for babies and toddlers.

Really rough. It happens with some frequency. The parents will never get over this.

According to the CDC, drowning is the number one cause of unintentional death for children between the ages of 1 and 4. And according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 390 deaths a year on average are attributed to drowning in a swimming pool or at a spa.

Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello lost a child similarly.

r52 That's a bit strange how Castello was able to go on with the show that night. First sign of a nervous breakdown, perhaps? That doesn't seem normal.

[quote]You mean The Oklahoman?

Ha! No, but it deserves that status too. Fuck Eddie Gaylord.

This could’ve been prevented if one of the toddlers just had a gun with which to shoot Alzheimer’s disease granny!

You can’t put a fence in front of a door that opens to a patio with a pool. You have to either keep the door permanently locked or have child alarms on the door.

That is an ugly looking pool. Not even because of the nasty water, but the shape and style is unappealing.

They could and should have put up some sort of fencing- even if it was just plastic netting. Plus door locks and a pool cover. You can’t be too cautious when there pools and babies.

[quote] What an ominous looking pool, filled with green and black, slimy algae.

That's not algae. It's regurgitated toddler!

This story is crazy. Who, with six children, takes on the care of an Alzheimer's patient, and why would you leave two toddlers AND an elder with dementia unattended?

I wonder if the home belongs to the old lady and the family was sponging off of her?

The parents might be anti-abortion, but clearly they’re open to alternative measures.

“I will leave the patio door open while the children play, and step out of the room for 5 hours.”

Pretty child

Brilliant.

Sad, but it does happen.

How awful. I just read that a player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers little girl drowned in their pool, just days after her Birthday. So fucking sad.

Lucky. Think of all the shit they won't have to live through that is becoming part of everyday life in this country.

^ TFS, Debs

R56

In Florida, the alarms are required and they are LOUD.

Hated the sound but could not imagine NOT having them.

r62 😢

She was so cute. This is horrible.

R52 And if they even survive, there can be awful damage. I worked on behalf of someone who was the victim of a near drowning. Spastic quadriplegic, cortically blind, severe intellectual disability, incontinent, g-tube fed and he has seizures. He takes multiple medications. He gets painful muscle cramps, wears braces on his hand and feet and is wheelchair dependent. He requires the supervision of a night nurse.

Before the near drowning, he was a normal, intelligent and active pre-schooler.

My co-worker had a client who was basically unaware and required total care.

Sometimes, dead can be better.

I actually drowned (non-fatal, obviously) in my cousin's pool when I was 6. I fell off a floaty toy into 5ft which, obviously at age 6, I wasn't. It's a horrible and terrifying feeling and the reason I don't swim. Ever. Even the smell of chlorine in hotels or gyms with a pool causes me anxiety. Apparently, I have cPTSD from the incident.

[quote]You can’t put a fence in front of a door that opens to a patio with a pool. You have to either keep the door permanently locked or have child alarms on the door.

You shouldn't buy a house like that, with a pool right outside the back door when you have small children or are planning to have them.

[quote]and why would you leave two toddlers AND an elder with dementia unattended?

Exactly. The pool is just as much a hazard to the dementia patient, who can wander out there and fall in or think it's a bathtub or something.

R4 summed everything up.

R72 My kids could independently swim between ages 3-4. You were 6 and couldn’t swim? 😮

r76 No.

[quote]Cruise Ship Grandfather - 1. Dementia Grandmother - 2 —But who’s keeping score?

That Florida Grandma at R78 is in the running too. She's got a drowning and a hot car death both within a year.

“The death is an awful experience, but life does go on eventually,” said Riggsbee, a Danville, Calif., resident who established the Drowning Prevention Foundation after the tragedy. “With a child who is left with massive brain damage, you have a horrendous nightmare that never goes away.”

Mother of a daughter, aged 2, who died of a near drowning and a son, aged 1, who survived. It was the same incident. The baby sitter felt ill. While she was in the bathroom, the children opened a sliding glass door and wandered into the family’s swimming pool.

Why do people have pools with such young children around?

This story is horrendous. I hate to say this yet again, but if this family was black, one or both parents would be charged, and there would be zero mercy at all. Life without parole, shit like that. These freaks will likely never be charged, though j hope I’m wrong.

The grandmother has been charged, R82.
