so will connors parents be paying for all the new equipment and training?
ReplyDeleteor, even better, maybe the legislature should pass a bill that requires parents to be held accountable for their children! wow! what a concept!
Why don't we just get rid of public pools.
ReplyDelete2.48, you sound like nobody loves you.
ReplyDeleteWhy would was he there ungaurded more emptional laws not sound judgement
DeleteWhy was he ungaurded more laws based on emotion
DeleteNOT COMMON SENSE
2:48, I wish I could punch you in the face.
ReplyDeleteThere was NO lifeguard on duty. How would mandating the purchase of an LED from whoever sells these devices to every pool that has NO lifeguard on duty save anyone? Of course, if this is a political payback, that's different. It just never changes.
ReplyDeleteThis pool had an AED. I think what pools need are parents that supervise their children at the pool!
ReplyDeleteThis hits close to home for me as my brothers and I grew up with Connor's uncles, one of whom played professional baseball- On the other side of the bridge.
ReplyDeleteIt was horrific, as it is when any child dies. And as much as I hate the mean comments, it was a case of parents turning their back for a second...Or minute, Or minutes...But, there before the grace of God go I.
On a side note, there was a defibrillator at the pool where Connor drowned, but the lifeguards were not allowed to use it. The parents of Connor have honored his life by trying to make public pools safer.
while this is a good idea, it's not going to save a pool drowned victim. The chlorine in the lungs is worse than cardiac fibrillation, since it can't be treated. The aeds are good in that anybody can use them, even if you're not trained. That's the beauty of their use.
