Cubby, I was replying to other messages with that quote, and to the general attitude of the subject. It was not directed at your post (which I very much agreed with) at all.
I can see this thread might very soon turn into a heated discussion about something I won't agree with and I'll just quietly leave before it does...
thank you for your reply. The only place I read the words psycho mum here within this thread at WS was a poster refering to herself, not this mother.
I don't disagree this was a tragic accident. Imo, this was an accident that could have been avoided if this mother would not have included 'electronics' which caused her to not only be distracted that she missed noticing an older child left a gate open, but also missed her youngest child getting through the gate and falling into the pool. That, imo, doesn't happen in 2 seconds..... as was mentioned back there somewhere. Having come from a marketing and advertising background, the thread title isn't that offensive to me. (JMO)
The fact that something could happen that quickly, imo, is simply reason to leave the distractions away from the pool, while driving.... etc.
If nothing else, it should cause all of us to rethink those 'conveniences' we are used to having attached to our ear or at our finger tips. Especially as those are things we may not realize can cause us enough of a distraction our childrens safety is affected.
JMO respectfully.
