Here is an excerpt from the story:

Palm Harbor, Florida—It’s a tragedy we report on all too often in Florida. A child, out of sight for just seconds, ends up at the bottom of a swimming pool.

It happened to a Bay area father just a couple of months ago. He saw the door leading to the pool open and found his little boy lifeless and blue in the water.

Now this father wants to make sure what happened to his 11 month old son, doesn’t happen to another child.
