On Friday afternoon, a three year old child was found floating in a pool in Hollywood. According to authorities, the child's family members fell asleep and were napping which permitted the little girl to exit the apartment where she was staying and find the pool.
The girl drowned when she fell into the pool. Although police were called, all attempts to revive the child were unsuccessful. Police continue to investigate this drowning accident. This incident calls into question why a baby fence was not erected to surround this pool.
All parents reading this story should be reminded how important it is to maintain constant supervision of children when water is involved. Sadly, this incident like many drowning and near drowning accidents can be prevented with acute attention to safety.
