That's horrible, but it has happened before...several years ago.  I thought they were supposed to have all the drains in kiddy pools fixed so that it couldn't happen again.  :'(

I heard that on the news yesterday, so sad.  Then there was the girl at Kentucky Kingdom that got her feet cut off.  Then there's a 4 year old boy missing here for 7 days now.  It seems like its all sadness anymore...

There have been several instances of children getting caught against drains over the years.  I saw an episode on GMA last year where a boy got his stomach stuck to one in a jacuzzi, I think it was.  His father barely managed to pry him free, the boy was underwater several minutes, but made a full recovery.  The government has apparently done nothing to require pools/jacuzzis/whirlpools, especially in public places, to have unsafe drains.  It's ridiculous.

I seem to recall warnings over drains going way back to my childhood swimming in Arizona.  ::)

That is just awful.  It really makes you want to stay away from public pools.
The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere
