The number one protection no matter what is to watch your child as much as humanly possible.

He’s quite a clever little guy. Would take a lot of looking after.

That’s one strong little lad. Glad they were there before he got into the pool. Maybe a pool fence would be a better bet. And I emphasise Maybe.

OMG, will you look at the strength and the cunning of a toddler so young. Quite frightening.

Wow, crafty lil guy. But instead of going and buying another ladder, he needs to invest in a pool fence..

Personally I found this ladder quite odd. So very glad we in Australia have pool fences but what ever you have supervision is paramount around pools.

OMG Cody is a climber of epic proportion. I’m glad dad was filming so he could save the little guy.

This is terrifying. Some babies are super strong, determined and clever.

I’m so glad that Australia requires full fencing around pools but shows how strong toddlers are and how you can NEVER not watch children (of any age) around water.

Wow, that is one determined little fella! He needs to be tied up to keep him safe. The poor parents, what a worry

Incredible. Luckily that the parents were there when it happened. It looks just so easy for this child!!

So easy to see Cody climb the locked ladder,very scary!

Omg! He needs more than a different ladder, he needs a 12 foot fence! I’d seriously consider getting rid of the pool.

This video is very terrifying I can’t even look
