Every year there are drownings of children at the beach but also in swimming pools. Normally, they should be secured but even if they are, we must be careful. The father of Cody, 2 years old, knows it well and shared a video that is chilling.The Wyman family lives in Attleboro, Massachusetts, USA. Having a pool on his property, Keith made sure to use a protective system so that his 2-year-old son couldn’t go into the water alone and put himself in danger. He invested in an ‘impassable’ ladder to prevent the little ones from climbing the steps to jump into the water.
But, as you can see in the video below, the ingenuity of children is endless. When Keith saw his son manage to climb the steps, he was devastated. He and his wife Tonya decided to film the little one to show how strong kids are and how they can overcome the safeguards.They let Cody do it for a few seconds and then Tonya quickly retrieved the little one who obviously wanted to continue his climb.
Keith explained that they made this decision to show parents why they should always be vigilant when a child is near a pool or water.As this dad points out, children have more strength than we think. This video has already been viewed tens of millions of times. The family took the safety ladder back to the store, which offered them another such product. They refused it and will contact the manufacturer to get a product that is safe for children.
