I wish people would read the whole article

I have done so. The facts speak for themselves - the fact that the child went in the water on his own is evidence that the pool was not properly childproofed. And if you put your child into a situation like that, you have a responsibility to make sure they are supervised at all times.

I didn't notice from the story that the child had a father. Did I miss something there?

There is nothing childproof; the case is based on the water present in the house on the floor not on the access to the pool.

Nowhere in the article was it stated that the pool and its surroundings were in violation of the applicable standards.

The father wasn’t present one assumes, his presence now would make a good story to see how the suit might affect all parties.

Damn, that changes everything, this police officer should double the amount she’s seeking, being forced to go to a 911 call at a home with an immoral single mother and her enabling parents.
