Yesterday a two-year-old boy drowned near Ypsilanti. This was one of several drownings [[or near drownings) in the area this summer.
A fellow reader of the local news shared this excellent article I encourage everyone to read. I consider myself a pretty savvy Mom, but the statement that "of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult" makes me reevaluate my assumptions about this issue.
