Drowning and Day-Care Safety
Re the situation where the 18-month-old toddler fell into a pool and later died at a licensed day-care facility at a home: I strongly feel that the regulations should be changed that allow licenses to be given to day-care providers who have a home with a pool.
You can be the best baby-sitter around, and all it takes is a few minutes of distraction and a tragedy could occur.
I don’t think that the current regulations allowing a fence with a self-closing latch are enough. Licensing should be prohibited for anyone with a pool.
