Hello:

This is so sad:

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/jan/11/naples-police-boy-who-drowned-pool-ruled-accident/

I have installed locks where my grandkids live.

Something to think about.

What's to think about? The kid got through a deadbolt? And then, what,
went across the street? And then got into a pool and drowned?

How long does that take?

Where were the parents all this time? Obviously doing something else.

And now, all the discussion is about who's at fault except for the parents.
If you don't watch your kids, this is what happens. It's that simple. And
then for people to want to come forth and blame everyone except themselves
for their own laziness and stupidity is ludicrous.

I have four grandchildren. We have a pool at our house. They have a pool
at their house. STILL, they never get far enough away from us to get into
the pool. THAT'S BECAUSE WE WATCH THEM. Emphasis on WATCH, as have an
eyeball on them. SEE them.

Maybe these people should apply to Hillary for a federally funded program to
help them combat this. She's strong on releasing and relieving parents of
their parental duties so we can have federal programs to parent them and
help them grow into dependent adults.

All they need to do to find the person responsible is look in a mirror.
