For my son's little league end of the year party(this was 10 years ago now) one of the parents had the party at their house with a pool. Great right? Well an hour into the party one of the kids goes whats that? It was one of the kids (7 years old) at the bottom of the pool. One of the dads jumps in an pulls him out. We start CPR. I must have pumped a gallon out of this little boy. It was a fucked up scene to say the least. The boy ended up dying at the hospital. The kids could not even comprehend what the fuck was going on. We the adults had to give statements to the police. The most fucked up thing about this whole thing is the parents had dropped him off. The owner of the house (one of the other parents), told this kids parents, "we will watch him", and at the time of pulling him from the bottom of the pool, they were both inside. To top it all off, the kid could not swim and did not have a life preserver on. Plus there must have been about 8 adults a spits away from the pool, and none of us saw him go under. I called the dad after it happened to apoligize. I felt so gulity and to this day still do. We had to all go see therapists, just real fucked up. So, I guess what I am trying to say is, I guess people think everyone else is watching their kids around pools, when you the parent have to be watching your own kid, because you never know what is going to happen. To this day I will not let any of my other kids go to pool parties.
I was just readng this and had to get it off my chest.
Very sad Mac. Was about 20 years ago at an apartment complex pool. Very small area and lots of us adults hanging around drinking. Kids swimming, just a normal weekend. I invited a friend and his six year old daughter over. Man he was just taking his shirt off and putting his ice chest down. His daughter just walked to the pool and jumped in. Sunk like a rock and nobody noticed but me. Not saying I was a hero but jumped in and pulled her from the deep end. My poor friend was in shock. Just saying it can happen so fast.
