This hits pretty close to home for me. I just got home from a 5 night stay at the campground and had my 5 yo twins at the pool yesterday. I am stunned.
What a terrible event for this young child, the family, and the staff that tried to help him. Very classy of Knoebels to disable their website and post this,
Wow. Since it was a young boy, I can't imagine he was diving, so maybe he somehow hit his head on the ground where he jumped from?
Maybe he attempted to do a flip into the pool? Kid's love to try to do flips.
Very sad.
