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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
