I remember our Baptismal font when I was a kid, there was at least one locked door to reach it and then another door to get to the water. Also the tank was empty when not in use.
"A congregation is in mourning after a toddler drowned in a baptismal pool during a church event."The video will not play. I thought there might be a picture of the Baptismal.http://www.waff.com/clip/10611335/gods-got-his-little-angel
Maybe there had been a baptism that day. I honestly don’t know. You’d think it would be secured when not in use due to concern over this very sort of thing. Maybe it normally was. Tragic, regardless of what one thinks of Pentecostals or their church. I’ve known some who were fine people.
Also, these days, people think nothing of children playing around the front of the church as if it were a playground.
If the tank was full for use and someone knew it, the church is also liable because they should have been more careful about making sure that didn't happen.
This poor girl is going to have to live with this the rest of her life.
