i hate to be the bearer of bad news y'all but i think this needs to be seen by all.
so many of us take our little ones to the pool this time of year. most of us (myself included) would assume that the kiddie pool is the safest place for our tiniest ones. after reading a story in today's news, i know this is NOT the case.
a small girl was disemboweled during a swim in the wading pool at a golf club in Minneapolis. the story is a horrible one so if you have a weak stomach, you might want to skip it.
for those of you that won't read it, i'll say this: be extremely careful of pool and hot tub drains. the article said "Since 1990, 170 people mostly children have been caught in drains and 27 of them have died. Legislation is pending that would require pools and hot tubs to have multiple drains to ease the suction."
i don't recall ever feeling suction from a pool drain (maybe i've only been in pools with the safer drain covers?) but i am aware that the drains are potentially hazardous.
