According to a Riverside sheriff’s press release, pool submersions involving children happen very quickly and often there is no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.
In order to prevent accidental drowning, parents and caregivers should constantly supervise children and install barriers such as doors, fences, gates with latches, audible alarms, or pool safety covers,the report stated.
During social gatherings at or near a swimming pool, a “designated watcher” should be appointed to protect young children from pool accidents. For more information regarding water and pool safety, please visit the Riverside County Injury Prevention Services online at http://www.rivcoips.org.

How many kids have to die before people get pool fences???
that very sad that the girl drowned, i beautiful angel slept for ever due to carelessness. I think parents should take a lesson from this incident that it can happen with their child also if they will not consider it or will take the proper measure.
