"This is
the eighth reported child drowning
this year in
Broward County.
From 2004 to 2007, the county had 31 drowning deaths of children 5 and under, according to the
Broward County Health Department."
At this rate, Broward County (where I lived for 20 years before moving up here) will hit 16 this year, that's half the TOTAL for the previous *3 years COMBINED*.
Yet, people STILL do not want proper child fences and/or alarms for their pools ... because *they look ugly* or are *too noisy*.
Yeah, .. okay, ... but, hey ... THEY SAVE LIVES when installed and used!
