No matter which type of lid FGM's septic had on it at the time, imho the septic should have been pumped out, just for good measure and absolute due diligence, if nothing else. However, if FGM's septic had the plastic lid, that is the type where the screws can be left out, and the lid can flip in such a way that it lands right back on the spot, as if it had never been moved, and meanwhile the child could fall inside. If FGM had the heavy concrete kind, that that means something entirely different. Either way, it was stated that cameras were put down the septics, so one would have to get from that that there was indeed a septic and that it was accessed enough to at least get a camera inside, but a camera just can't do the same view and assurance as a pumpout.
"Dams have been drained and divers have searched others. Cameras have been put down septic tanks and drains."
