(respectfully snipped, bold mine) Agree w snipped--but bolded says it best. KC no doubt SPENT A COUPLE HOURS ON THE COMPUTER. During which Caylee was unsupervised, in a home w a pool which had no safety barriers. It just isn't that deep. JMO
Caylee could have quite easily climbed the ladder and fallen in the pool, but there was no way Caylee could have put the ladder in place on the pool. Is KC so lame that she put the ladder in place then left Caylee alone in the back yard? Maybe. That would have been an accidental death. A preventable one, but still an accident. There is no plausible reason for KC not to call 911 if Caylee had drowned. The only thing that makes not calling 911 reasonable, is if KC did something physically causing Caylee's demise.
My daughter was 3 1/2 when I bought a house with a pool, within a week or two she could literally tread water for hours at a time, choosing to hang out in the deep end with her older siblings. This was her first ready access to a pool, except for vacations in a hotel with a pool, the prior summer, where she would have had to stay on the steps or in someones arms to move around. At the time, she was 8 months older than Caylee was in June. If Caylee had accidentally fallen in, she should have been able to tread water for at least a few minutes and probably call for help.
Two year olds are fairly fearless, (this is why they are so accident prone) having had pool access Caylee had probably had her face in the water before, playing and bobbing would have showed her to hold her breath and bob back to the top to catch her breath. She was old enough and had spent enough time in the pool the summer before, she shouldn't have panicked immediately. She was young enough, had she fallen in she wouldn't have been able to stay afloat for long, because she would have tired out, but she should have been safe for a few minutes at least.
