What gets me is how fucking blind the people walking past the pool are. I mean, seriously, he stares at her floating for 10 second before it registers that it's a body? Seriously? It's clear fucking water, not a mud puddle.

Several adults walk through that area and nobody notices the child limp in the pool.

Should be treated like Attempted Murder.

I am dumbfounded by the lack of responsibility. Children need a lot of supervision to prevent them from coming to harm. Allowing a child to go unattended in a swimming pool is just asking for disaster.

Kid got lucky. Hope the kid recovers without any permanent damage.

I almost drowned when I was about 5 or 6. I was walking around the edge of the pool and fell in the deep end. I was able to keep my head above the water for about half a minute before my mom noticed and jumped in after me.

I think she noticed but thought that I had jumped in on purpose. I didn't make any distressed noises, so she didn't think that I was in danger at first. That's the thing about downing, not everyone is able to shout out for help.

I don't really much about it because I was so young. The thing that I remember most was being extremely disappointed in myself that I was not able to swim back to the side and pull myself out of the pool. I was taking swimming lessons at the time, and I felt like a complete failure that I had to be rescued. All I actually remember about the drowning part was kicking and flailing, trying to work my way back over to the edge.

The cool thing about drowning is that most of the time it's very silent. Not at all like you'd expect based on shitty tv shows.
