‘Sweetest’ toddler missing from daycare found dead down a well
NY Post ^ | 05/30/2023 | Lee Brown

A 2-year-old Canadian girl was found dead down a well after going missing from her daycare — with staff only realizing when the mom came to pick her up, according to reports.

Little Vienna Rose Irwin was discovered missing Thursday afternoon when mom Claire arrived at Watch Me Grow Day Care in Cobourg, Ontario, according to the Toronto Sun.

After a frantic search, she was found dead down an open well about an hour later, Global News said.

A fundraiser called her the “most beautiful and sweetest little girl” who “gained her angel wings in a way parents only think about in their worst nightmares.”

Neighbors recalled staff earlier rushing around begging for help finding the toddler as cops also raced to the scene.

I can’t imagine how this is ‘convenient’ for anyone.

We have an old well on our property that my grandfather hand dug 100 years ago. Our daughters played around it all the time when they were growing up. OTOH, I covered it with a concrete cover that I could barely lift 20 years ago and cannot lift at all now.

Nope. It’s not. Most normal thing in the world. 2 year old breaks free and explores. Take your eyes off them for 4 seconds and forget it. A comurious nap nap intelligent kid all you do for the first 3 years is keep them alive You hand them over to people who don’t love them and you have to be prepared for this

I meant that it's possible that the little girl was killed and then thrown in the well, to make it look accidental.

Just a thought.

Too little info, in the story, to make any assumptions.

Well, when they do an autopsy, it will be clear if she received injuries from the fall while she was still alive, or after she died. So if that was someone’s intention, it won’t work.

It seems there’s a lot of irresponsibility in every area these days. So many things we used to trust are untrustworthy now.

On the other hand, honest, unavoidable accidents happen, and have always happened.

Nobody used to trust strangers to raise their kids. Sorry.

I was in daycare for a while in the early 1950s, and had a nanny for years after. There was no problem.

Families have different needs and can’t always do what is ideal. That has always been true. But the average person in decades past was much more responsible than today.

Maybe a curious child wandered away and fell in. But there is no way the police should accept that explanation at face value.

Police are generally very good at what they do. They’ll figure it out.

There was an open well on my neighbors property. I spoke to them about it.

They told me that it was my duty to keep my chidden on my property.

I told them that I could maybe do that but there were usually 3 to 6 other kids visiting to play and I could not guarantee their safety.

I then spoke with my local excavator to find out the cost of getting a concrete well cap put on their well, I would pay for it.

He must have spoken to my neighbors.

the next week the neighbors installed a wood well cap.

I have to look to see if it is still there. There are no children in the neighborhood yet but some young couples have moved in and there will be some soon.

That's all that I'm saying.

Very little info in the story, but enough for me to say "Really?"🤔

Or to school or to a play group or to a friends house or to grandmas......

Or do anything but walk one pace behind them at all times.

I wonder, how you do that with more then one child?

“ Or to school or to a play group or to a friends house or to grandmas..”

Two year olds need a mothers constant watch especially smart curious ones.

Sorry just not possible to walk one step behind them at all times.

There is this little thing called reality.

And bathroom breaks.

Do folks just dig a very deep hole in the ground then abandon it for some cute little girl to tumble into?

See post 11.

Sh!t happens, and it always has done.

Everyone seems to be pronouncing on this, without really knowing much about the case.

I remember growing up, the horror stories were always about kids getting into abandoned refrigerators and shutting the doors.
