The "Journalism" I have come to expect from WFSB. Some women calls and says "my son was denied access to the country club pool" and WFSB runs with it. I guess "Child denied access to private pool due to lack of membership" doesn't fit their agenda.

In the comments someone points out a YMCA is just minutes away, with a pool that allows flotation devices, no special paperwork required. Why didn’t they go there first?

[Sacajaweau]

They weren't denied access...they only inquired about it. It never should have made the headlines.

Looking for a free membership perhaps.

She had a membership, just she hadn’t filled out a waiver for the life jacket. God forbid she take any responsibility, and the time it took little miss drama queen to find a reporter to complain to, she could have filled out the waiver and let the kid swim.

Big, big difference between a flotation vest and a flotation device! The flotation vest is for the boy’s safety, not for him to float on in the pool CC is wrong!

An Ellington mother is upset after her son, who suffers from autism,

If her child suffered from any other malady...this would not be news...at all

Basically, it would have been tough toenails...suck it up...

Autism is becoming "cause celeb"...

[Arthur McGowan]

They expect us to believe that IF this kid had been in the pool, AND something happened to him, the parents wouldn’t sue the country club for their last penny?

It was the vest, lady
Not the autism\

I just bet that kid is potty trained too
