A lot of people don't realize how dangerous pools can be for children. They actually are more dangerous than having guns in the home. This is such a tragedy. How could anyone expect a one year old to crawl out of a crib and then somehow make his way outside to the pool? That poor family!

Even more ridiculous is the WXYZ report is based on a request from an Ypsilanti pastor to get help for the family with funeral expenses. Can't anyone get the real facts anymore? If not, don't publish these kinds of things!
