    Pool Safety for Children Important in Hot Summer Months

    A Massachusetts toddler drowned this week in a pool at his home.  The child walked out onto a deck at his home undetected and fell into the pool.  His mother found him a short time later.  Tragically he could not be revived.  He was at least the third child to drown in Massachusetts in the last week.  A 2 year old drowned in her family's in ground pool and a 12 year old drowned in the Connecticut River.  Here at Thomas M. Kiley & Associates we see tragedies like this all the time.  We have represented families of drowning victims as well as children and adults who have received spinal cord injuries in pool and diving accidents.  It is important to take proper safety measures around pools and other bodies of water.  Always make sure that children are properly supervised and that pools are properly fenced or enclosed.
