  Thoughts and prayers with the family and all involved in this tragedy.

A horrible story. A timely reminder of the importance of pool safety.

This is such a tragedy. I agree with no pools in home day cares for sure.

They closed the day care centre while they go on with the investigations.
Now there is a proposal here in WA to ban swimming pools from family day care centres. I completely agree!

oh no! that is very sad! wow that poor family! sooo so sad!

Oh my! I’ve just heard he died. 🙁 https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/30067624/parents-call-for-change-after-daycare-death/
Poor little one!

I’ve heard it. That toddler was clearly not supervised enough. I hope he will recover soon, little one!

Oh wow!!! The poor little kid =( hope he recovers quickly and without complication!! Would be traumatizing for all involved!!
I hope punishment is delivered to the daycare carer, as I believe this is negligence on their behalf!

oh another pool incident, and it’s not even summer yet – how come there are so many toddler/child pool related accidents, what is missing to prevent this? Does there need to be some sort of govt intervention that says all children from a certain age need to have compulsory swimming lessons (subsidised by the govt) – to try and prevent accidents/deaths in pools? Thank goodness for neighbours and people that have their first aid up to date – hope everything works out for the little boy and his family

So heartbreaking for everyone involved. I hope he is ok.
I don’t understand how a family day care carer doesn’t know CPR.

Such a sad story to read. Hope the little man makes a full recovery and the child care workers are supported too.

Sending prayers to the young boy and his family – I hope he makes a full recovery.

Oh no, how horrible! To put your trust into a person to adequately care for your child, and then for them to fail in their duty of care is awful. That poor family. I’m sending prayers for a quick and healthy recovery

My 4 year old nephew drowned last year. It’s not something anyone EVER wants to go through. Awful. The very worst kind of awful.

Pools need 100% supervision. Such a tragic accident. Kids move so fast. Really feel for all parties involved – can’t blame anyone as that does no good – just awful. This story is such a good reminder of backyard dangers.

I hope this toddler pulls through. How he got through the fence??
My prayers are with the family.
