You really are a poor excuse for a human being - how can you even say such a thing??? It was an accident. Any parent can sit a relate about the close calls with our toddlers - we got lucky. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such an ignorant statement. Let me guess - you either don't have children OR you are perfect!! Must be nice to live in your world.

My heartfelt prayers to this wonderful family (yes, I know them) and may the love of all their family and friends see them through this very tragic time.

This family is going through any parent's worst nightmare of losing a child. Let's not further contribute to their grief by talking negatively about them on this forum. Prayers and thoughts go out to this family.

I am just glad I am not a heartless person like you. I hope that you never have to go through something like this in your life. Never say never - tomorrow is another day.

We could only wish that the world was a perfect place. If there wasn't accidents - we would all be so much happier...but things happen that you don't mean to happen and thank goodness there are kind compassionate people out there to help someone when the unthinkable happens. I am sure that there is no harsher punishment for this mother than the loss of her son. I for not one second doubt the mother's parenting skills and believe that she was raising them great - it's sad, but sometimes accidents happen and I will never put down another mother for that because the best that I try and my life is completely around my children - I am not perfect and I am sure that I have done things others would criticize...in my heart I know that I am doing the best I can.

Dolly, my prayers are with you. You must be in such a horrible place in life to place such judgment on another’s horrific loss. I will pray for you and hope your judgment day goes well. May your higher power watch over you in your time of need. You are really going to need all the prayers you can get.

Wow - another "perfect person/mother"!! Why don't you and Dolly both grow a heart - it's clear neither one of you has one!! Blake's mother will have enough heartache to last her a lifetime - I'm sure she didn't get up in the morning with the intention of allowing her son to fall in the pool. It was a tragic accident!! As others have said - don't cast stones!

Isn't this supposed to be a place for opinions? Why do we all have to agree with you or you tell us how sick we are. Shut up and let people have their say.

You're right "chill out" have your say with your small minds. However, I do know these people and I know that they love their children and are good parents. It was simply a tragic accident and those of you that enjoy making something sinister out of it are pathetic. Have a great day :)

Here is an opinion for you. Dolly and others like her may think they are beyond reproach for their own parenting skills, but they definitely need work on becoming decent human beings. What kind of person would risk inflicting more pain on an already grieving family just so their "opinion" could be heard? This is not politics. This is not school business. This is not an issue of where our taxpayer dollars are going to. This is a real family, just like yours, who lost a child. This is about people judging under the pretense of opinions. How could someone possibly have an informed opinion based on one probably inaccurate newspaper article? Were you there? Do you know the family? No! So take your disquised judgement, innappropriate and insensitive opinion somewhere else. This town is trying to support one of their own at a time of tragedy. Go away. Just because you have been blessed with freedom of speech does not mean you are responsible or intelligent enough to know when and where to open your mouth.

Just my opinion.

And you know all this about Dolly from her comments. Who are you to tell anyone to go away. Freedom of speech means we can open our mouths anywhere. If you can't have an "informed opinion" based on a newspaper article this entire web site should be shut down because everyone here is responding to articles and things they have heard from others. I love people like you who think they know anything about anyone based on a comment they wrote here. Get off your moral high horse and move on.

There you go again proving my point, if we don't agree with you we have small minds. YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY TOO!!!!
