drowning :'(

So today at my apartment complex a little boy drowned. And he died. His parents left him alone at the pool to go "shopping" and my little cousin was playing with him. After awhile my cousin was asking everyone where his friend was. And we all looked for him. But a girl swimming there said there was something at the bottom of the pool. He was down there. My cousin pulled him out and did cpr on him. But he had his eyes wide open and there was spit and vomit coming out of his mouth. He was so blue. But he did cpr on him until the ambulance got there. So I took his son (my little cousin who was friends with the little boy) and his daughter back to my apartment. I went to talk to the police and they told me they couldn't find a heart beat. Finally his dad got there and blamed everyone for not watching his son. But I guess he did pass away. I am so traumatized by seeing what I saw. R.I.p little muhammid. :'(

I'm sorry you had to go through this especially your little cousin. That family will never be the same after this. Makes me never want my son to leave my side. I get emotional and over protective of him now and I've got four months to go.

Omg..That's devastating. His parents will feel guilty enough.  Too bad the boy had to pay for there negligence. Wish someone had reported them beforehand for neglect.

One of my 3rd grade students drowned In a stream behind his home. One of the saddest funerals. EMTs and cops even attended.

Sometimes I feel guilty for being super overprotective of my daughter. But situation like this is why. Kids are very fragile n precious.

They always left that little boy alone there. They just expect everyone to watch them. But we honestly did but one minute he was there and next we didn't see him. I guess he dove into the deep part and couldn't get back up. I'm so shaken up I can't even imagine the parents. My baby knows what's up because she won't stop kicking and has hiccups. :'(
