Have you seriously not ever used Sped used as a slang or offensive term towards special ed students?

Ahhh, I was in mass cleaning mode this morning and thought 3 or 4 times that the water pressure was really low. Good to know that I'm not crazy.
On Near tragedy prompts request on Edgerton pool safety

I am all about teaching children to swim at a young age, but not allowing them even the most basic floatation devices before they learn to swim is ridiculous. Of course, I'm sure some parents would use floaties as "babysitters" but at least those children would be safe.

I don't know these particular parents, so I don't know if they really just "lost track" of Hayden or maybe they told him to go play (LOTS of kids run around Edgteron pool and other public pools unnattended) but I do know this...I visit public pools with my almost 4 year old and 22 month old very frequently and it is very easy to lose sight of one for a brief moment while the other one runs another way. We tend to use the smaller wading pools more often as I find it is too overwhelming to keep track of more than one child in a pool at a time.

I don't think adding a buoy rope is a bad idea. It's a great visual and physical reminder for little ones (who can understand boundaries.)
On Father files claim over son’s drowning

The father could have had custody and the mother may have had supervised visitation rights, meaning a social worker was supposed to supervise.

Whether or not she leagally had custody, I guess I'm not sure on. But it does say that she had the baby taken from her and then later a social worker, knowing this woman had serious mental issues and the baby was UNSAFE, left the baby in her care.
.
Money obviously doesn't solve everything bringing this case to our attention and hopefully getting some people in trouble will shed light on the situation. And then hopefully things will change as far as how these social workers are doing their jobs.

JVLMOM, the Edgerton pool has zero entry & a deeper section, all one pool. There is also a seperate pool with diving boards, etc. Lot's of shade and a close playground. We love it there!

This is AWFUL! I've seen many careless decisions made by social/case workers just because it was the easier thing to do. NOT the best interest of the child. THAT is why this man is filing a claim against the state.
.
Napalm, the father didn't have the child because the social worker/State granted the mother custody, hence the reason why he is filing a lawsuit. When custody is granted, the other parent must comply.

LOL Seriously? Put your baby in a drawer but don't sleep with him? A joke, right? Cosleeping is very safe and highly recommended when done properly. Obese, drunk, or have sleep issues? Don't cosleep. Use common sense.
I hope this program includes breastfeeding education and they don't hand out free samples of formula like they do in the hospital. I mean, if their intentions are truly to help young families get their children off to a "healthy start", then breastfeeding info & education should be a given.
